This baby was described by one of my taste testers as “change your life good.” Oh yea!
So this past Sunday I hosted a baby shower for one of the women in my small group. All of our baby showers (3 now) have been couple showers, so we avoid things like decorating onesies and opt for guessing the price of baby stuff kind of games so that the guys can get into it – at least a little.
This past Sunday actually involved some football watching as well, given the time of day on Sunday. Not your usual baby shower, huh? 🙂
It was a great success! The wonderful thing about our small group is that even though I’ve hosted all three baby showers so far, I don’t actually have to do that much work. It’s totally a team effort.
I’m obviously the designated cake maker. And I usually help with decor because I like that kind of thing. But most everything else, like food and the main decor stuff, is taken care of by the other couples. We all kind of have our “thing” figured out. Then everyone but the parents-to-be show up early and throw everything together real quick. After this third one, we definitely have it down to an art.
The theme was Pioneer Woman this time around because the mom-to-be is a huge fan. She has her cookbooks and I’m sure some other stuff and it was a totally fun theme to put together. Most of the food was made from recipes on her blog, including this amazing Chocolate Strawberry Nutella Cake that I made. Check out the photo of the food and table set up.
One of the girls in our group even got a children’s book written by Ree herself as the guest book for everyone to sign. How stinking cute is that?! Good times were had by all.
This Rocky Road Cookie Cake will also guarantee a good time for all. It was a massive hit with myself and my taste testers. Seriously delicious! The stuff dreams are made of.
Making it is pretty straightforward. Once you’ve made the cookie dough, which is stuffed with nuts and chocolate chips, you’ll press half of it into your cake pan. You’ll top the dough with marshmallow fluff – the good stuff. This stuff is gooey-city. And it works better than actual marshmallows when this cookie is baked because marshmallows melt and disappear.
Top the fluff off with the rest of the cookie dough and bake.
The cookie will still be a little jiggly in the center when it’s done baking. It will continue to bake a little and firm up as it cools. I let it cool completely in the pan, shaking it around a few times as it cools, so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
Once cool, remove it from the pan. When ready to serve, toss on some more chocolate chips, marshmallows and nuts. Warm it up and toast the marshmallows a bit by putting it in the oven on convection bake for about 15 minutes. The cookie won’t cook any more, but it will get warm and gooey on top and in the center, where the fluff is.
This is the good stuff, my friends. Warm, gooey, chocolatey. Don’t miss out, because that would be a shame.

How tall is this cookie cake?
About an inch or so.
Could I use your triple chocolate cookie recipe and then follow the instructions above for the marshmallow fluff?
Also would it work halfing the recipe and putting it in a 6 inch cake pan?
Yes, you could use the triple chocolate cookie and it should be fine to half it and do a 6 inch cake.
For the cookie cake, can I use a chocolate cake or brownie BOXED mix? Also, can I bake in a pie pan? Thanks!
I would think it’d be fine that way.
