Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Blend in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Optional Add-Ins:
    • If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra decadence.
  6. Chill the Dough:
    • Refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  7. Shape the Cookies:
    • Roll the dough into 1½-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Add Marshmallows:
    • Press 2-3 mini marshmallows into the top of each cookie ball.
  9. Bake:
    • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
  10. Cool:
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey cookies, gently press more mini marshmallows onto the cookies immediately after baking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies pair perfectly with a warm mug of hot chocolate!
