Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend until well combined.
- 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.
- If using, fold in the optional chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Form the dough into 1 ½-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Press 2-3 mini marshmallows into the top of each cookie ball.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- 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 to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- For added flavor, try different types of chocolate chips or add a pinch of espresso powder.
