Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and pale, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows evenly.
  • Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cooling rack

Notes

  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much during baking.
  • Use mini marshmallows for best texture and gooey pockets.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
