Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
- Gently stir in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and 1 cup of mini marshmallows, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
