Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups chocolate chunks or chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chunks, then gently fold in the mini marshmallows.
6. Scoop dough into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. While warm, dust with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Let the butter come to room temperature for smooth creaming and even dough texture.
Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
For extra gooey marshmallow pockets, press a few more on top before baking.
