Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Gently fold in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
