- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 12 large marshmallows, halved
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, flatten each one, and place a marshmallow half in the center.
- Wrap the dough around the marshmallow completely, sealing edges well.
- Arrange cookie balls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the cookies are set but still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too soft to wrap around marshmallows.
- Use mini marshmallows for smaller cookies.
- For extra richness, roll dough balls in sugar before baking.
- Ensure marshmallows are fully enclosed to prevent leaking.
