Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend until well combined.
- Mix 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.
- Optional Add-ins: If using, fold in the optional chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Form Cookies: Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Add Marshmallows: Press 2-3 mini marshmallows into the top of each cookie ball.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- For extra chocolate flavor, use chocolate chips as an add-in.
