- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in your chosen chocolate chips or chunks by hand with a spatula.
- For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Drop rounded tablespoons or use a 1.5-inch cookie scoop to place dough balls onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers look soft.
- Carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven and quickly place 3-4 mini marshmallows on top of each partially baked cookie, gently pressing them down.
- Return the cookies to the oven and continue baking for another 2-4 minutes, until the marshmallows are puffed, lightly golden, and gooey.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
