# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully blended, then mix in the vanilla extract.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
05 -
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
06 -
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows, reserving 1/2 cup of marshmallows for topping.
07 -
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
08 -
Press a few reserved mini marshmallows onto the top of each cookie dough mound.
09 -
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
10 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For extra chocolate intensity, substitute dark chocolate chips. Broil cookies for the last minute to enhance marshmallow caramelization, watching closely to avoid burning. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Use various marshmallow flavors for a playful twist. Flatten dough slightly for thinner, chewier cookies.
