Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
Deliciously soft cookies filled with gooey marshmallows and rich chocolate flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the cookie dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature for easy creaming.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour Use the spoon-and-level method when measuring.
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Use high-quality cocoa for better flavor.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips Consider dark chocolate for richer taste.
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one by one, then add the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows gently with a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look slightly undercooked in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Experiment with different chocolate chip brands or use flavored marshmallows for variations. Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
