Description
These cookies taste like hot cocoa with a soft marshmallow inside. Perfect for cold days or as a fun snack for kids.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 24 large marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough. Flatten in your palm. Place one marshmallow in the center. Wrap dough around the marshmallow and seal edges.
- Place wrapped cookies on prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers still look soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate chips with heavy cream and butter. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
For the best results, use soft butter and do not overmix after adding flour. Watch the cookies in the last minutes to prevent marshmallows from bursting.
