Description
Gooey chocolate marshmallow cookies with rich chocolate chunks and soft, melty marshmallows — a bakery-style treat made at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) dark or milk chocolate, chopped or in chips
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda or ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep your baking environment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy — about 2 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients separately: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda (or powder), and salt together.
- Combine: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined — avoid overmixing.
- Add chocolate: Fold in the chopped chocolate or chips.
- Incorporate marshmallows: Gently fold in mini marshmallows, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed so each cookie gets gooey bites.
- Shape: Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, placing rounds 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and marshmallows turn lightly golden. Loosely tent with foil in the last 2 minutes to prevent marshmallow burning if needed.
- Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Swap dark chocolate for white chocolate chips for a white chocolate marshmallow cookies variation.
- Use vegan marshmallows and dairy-free butter for a plant-based version.
- A quality gluten-free flour blend works well for a gluten-free take — no other changes needed.
