Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add one large egg at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Scoop about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, place one mini marshmallow in the center, and wrap the dough around the marshmallow to seal it completely.
- Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
