Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies Recipe
A Gooey and Decadent Treat
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and medium).
- Electric mixer or whisk.
- Baking sheets
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
For the Marshmallow Filling:
- 12 large marshmallows, sliced in half (or 1 cup mini marshmallows)
Optional Toppings:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Assemble the Cookies:
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Flatten slightly in your palm.
- Place a half marshmallow (or a few mini marshmallows) in the centre of the dough.
- Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, ensuring it is completely enclosed to prevent leakage during baking.
Bake the Cookies:
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are firm but the centres remain soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve warm for a gooey marshmallow centre or let them cool completely for a chewy texture.
