Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
18 large marshmallows, halved crosswise
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove the tray, press a marshmallow half onto the center of each cookie, and return to the oven for 2 minutes until the marshmallow is soft and puffed.
Allow the cookies to set on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Keep these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Since the marshmallow will get sticky, place parchment paper between layers if stacking.
