Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. If the dough feels sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the marshmallows are melted into swirls. The centers may look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough if it feels too sticky to prevent excessive spreading during baking.’, ‘Use fresh marshmallows for the best gooey texture.’, ‘Watch the cookies closely during the last minute or two of baking to prevent over-browning of marshmallows.’, ‘Experiment with sizes and adjust baking time accordingly.’]
