Description
Deliciously soft cookies with rich chocolate flavor and pockets of marshmallow fluff.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup marshmallow fluff or crème
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step builds the base for a tender, chewy cookie.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fully combined.
- Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this to the wet mixture and mix until a soft, chocolatey dough forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of melted chocolate goodness in every bite.
- Swirl in the Marshmallow: Gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the dough. Don’t overmix—it’s important to keep that beautiful swirl. You want ribbons of marshmallow running through the dough, not completely blended.
- Scoop and Chill: Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet (about 2 tablespoons per cookie). For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and intensifies the flavor.
- Bake to Toasty Bliss: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked. The marshmallow will puff and toast during baking—pure magic!
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or cooled—they’re irresistible either way.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
