Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate:
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare a mixing station with a large bowl and electric mixer. Thoroughly cream butter and sugars until the mixture becomes pale and airy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a consistent dough forms.
- Carefully divide the prepared dough into two equal portions.
- Introduce cocoa powder into one portion of the dough, kneading until the color is deep and consistent throughout.
- Fold chocolate chips into the cocoa-infused dough, distributing them evenly.
- Using your hands, create alternating balls of plain and chocolate dough, gently pressing them together to achieve a marbled swirl effect.
- Delicately press a marshmallow into the center of each dough ball, carefully reshaping to encase the marshmallow completely.
- Arrange the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for subtle signs of setting.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling racks until completely cooled.
Notes
- Swap out regular flour for gluten-free flour blend to accommodate celiac or gluten-sensitive diets without compromising cookie texture.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly version of these indulgent cookies.
- Prevent marshmallows from burning by slightly pushing them into the dough center and monitoring baking time closely to maintain gooey, soft consistency.
- Enhance chocolate flavor by using high-quality dark cocoa powder or adding a pinch of espresso powder to intensify the rich chocolate notes in the cookies.
