Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Make the Cookie Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  • Shape and Bake the Cookies:

    • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press a marshmallow half into the center of each cookie.

  • Finish Baking with Marshmallows:

    • Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffy and slightly melted.

  • Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature for a delicious hot chocolate-inspired treat!

Notes

  • Extra chocolatey: Drizzle melted chocolate over the marshmallows for even more chocolate flavor.
  • Make it peppermint: Add 1/2 tsp peppermint extract to the dough or sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
