My kids asked for cookies for their lunches this week and I found this easy mini rocky road cookies recipe on Two Peas and Their Pod that looked perfect. Mini cookies are a perfect-sized treat for lunches and the leftovers will be great for our upcoming camping trip. These cookies were fun & easy to make, smelled amazing while baking, and turned out crisp on the edges and soft on the inside! My kids were thrilled and my husband was too.
