Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Swirl and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a smooth, flat surface for even cookie placement.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, ensuring all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined and free of lumps.
- Cream butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing completely after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive chocolate cookie dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently fold mini marshmallows and chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving adequate space between each cookie for spreading.
- Dollop small amounts of marshmallow fluff on top of each cookie dough ball, using a toothpick to create elegant swirl patterns across the surface.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges appear set and cookies have a slightly cracked appearance.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- The marshmallow swirls will create pockets of gooey sweetness throughout the rich chocolate cookies, offering a delightful textural contrast.
Notes
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and consistent cookie texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, maintaining identical measurements.
- Reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes if you prefer softer, chewier cookies with gooey marshmallow centers.
