Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a chocolate cookie dough.
- Add chocolate chips and marshmallows: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the dough. Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they distribute evenly without melting prematurely.
- Portion the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop evenly sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. The marshmallows on top will become slightly golden and gooey.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them set while retaining their soft and chewy texture.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance flavor.
- Remove cookies from the oven when edges are firm but centers remain soft for perfect chewiness.
- Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor and rich color.
- Mix dry ingredients just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Add marshmallows last and fold gently to maintain their shape and prevent early melting.
