Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
-
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
-
Optional: 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and hot cocoa mix if using.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
-
For extra gooey cookies, press a few extra marshmallows on top of each dough ball before baking.
-
Don’t overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.
-
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
