- ½ cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups milk or semisweet chocolate
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or unsalted butter

Let chocolate cool for a couple of minutes. Fold in marshmallows and nuts, if using. Spoon desired amount the rocky road mixture onto each cookie.
