Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (150g) Nutella hazelnut spread
- 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (or chopped large marshmallows)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dough: Cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually fold in the Nutella until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, forming a soft, pliable dough.
- Add the Marshmallows: Carefully fold the mini marshmallows into the dough, distributing them evenly to create gooey pockets in each cookie without melting them prematurely.
- Scoop and Shape: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, place portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them well to allow spreading. For extra gooeyness, press a few marshmallows onto the tops of each dough ball.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking to keep marshmallows melty inside.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. This step allows marshmallows to set slightly while maintaining a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and dough consistency.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and chewy.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if possible to prevent excessive spreading.
- Choose high-quality Nutella for the best flavor.
- Remove cookies from the oven as soon as edges turn golden to keep centers soft.
