Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Dry Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream 1 cup softened butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar until the mixture turns fluffy and light.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture and pour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, beating until completely smooth.
- Sift together 3 cups flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a rich chocolate dough forms.
- Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup mini marshmallows into the dough, distributing them evenly.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheets into the 350°F oven and bake for precisely 11 minutes, watching for slightly crisp edges.
- Remove the sheets and let the cookies rest on the pan for 3 minutes to set their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent marshmallows from sticking and burning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour and use gluten-free chocolate chips.
- Slightly underbake the cookies for a softer, chewier texture, as they’ll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet after removing from the oven.
