My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I have so enjoyed seeing all the efforts on Facebook and Instagram and the encouragement of others in the community as you've worked through your own Home Refresh! Making changes in the home isn't always easy but for 14 days, everyone has impressed me with their hard work and positive attitudes. Knowing that there were so many out there doing the same tasks with me every day motivated me too! I had loads of fun and I really can't explain how much I truly love helping you all, it really does humble my heart, this Refresh has really refreshed me too!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
