Description

Rich chocolate cookies with a gooey marshmallow center, reminiscent of hot cocoa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. For each cookie, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a few mini marshmallows in the center and carefully wrap the dough around them to form a ball.
  9. Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra hot cocoa flavor, you can dust the cooled cookies with a little powdered sugar.
  • Ensure the marshmallows are fully enclosed in the dough to prevent them from burning.
