Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are well combined for consistent flavor and texture.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth, which helps create the perfect cookie texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Mixing thoroughly after each addition ensures proper incorporation and a smooth batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and ensuring a tender cookie.
- Fold in Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute the sweet, gooey elements throughout.
- Portion Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly firm but the centers remain soft and chewy for the ideal texture.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by removing them at the 10-minute mark.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular-sized marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if unavailable.
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted for the best creaming results.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
