Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
18 large marshmallows, cut in half
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
Remove the sheet, press a marshmallow half into the center of each cookie, and top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 2 additional minutes until the marshmallow is soft and slightly golden.
Notes
Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For perfectly circular cookies, use a large cookie cutter to scoot the edges immediately after pulling them from the oven. If the cookies firm up, microwave them for 10 seconds.
