Ingredients

  • 270 grams (2 1/4 cups) flour
  • 21 grams (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 oz (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 248 grams (1 1/4 cups) sugar
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 22 grams (1/2 cup) mini marshmallows
  • 85 grams (1/2 cup) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ F.
  2. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, and melted chocolate on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  5. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Stir in most of the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, making sure to save the rest for the tops of the cookies.
  7. Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, form cookies into balls and place each cookie on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  8. Add remaining marshmallows and chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies. Do your best to try and keep any marshmallows away from the edges and bottoms of each cookie ball.
  9. Place each cookie a few inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until cookies are firm around the edges.
  10. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully moving them to a cooling rack.
  11. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week but are best when enjoyed within the first few days.
