Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully combined. The dough will be thick but manageable.
  6. Fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts using a spatula.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the marshmallows are gooey.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better texture.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Keep an eye on the marshmallows during baking as they can melt and spread.’, ‘Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.’]
