Ooey Gooey Rocky Road Cookies IMG_5497

My favorite ice cream flavor as a kid was Rocky Road Ice Cream but as I grew up eating a pint of ice cream for the second  night in a row on my couch wasn’t agreeing to well with my stretchy waist sweats nor my social life. I wanted to come up with a way to satisfy my sweet tooth and not have it go straight to my thighs rather send me back with one bite to those wonderful childhood memories that each fluffy marshmallow and crunch of an almond brought back.

That’s why for this delicious decadent cookie recipe, I shaved off calories by using Truvia Brown Sugar Blendso I don’t feel bad having one or two okay maybe three cookies before I go out!

  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
