Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. This ensures even distribution of the rising agents and flavor before combining with wet ingredients.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light in color. This process aerates the dough creating a soft base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, adding moisture and depth to the cookie dough.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just blended to maintain tender and chewy texture; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Mini Marshmallows: Gently fold the mini marshmallows into the dough, distributing evenly without breaking them, to create melty pockets when baked.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dough balls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack. This helps retain their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading and intensify flavors.
  • Use mini marshmallows as they melt more evenly and create perfect gooey bursts.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are just set and centers are still soft for maximum chewiness.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness; placing a slice of bread inside helps retain moisture.
