  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
  • Scoop Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Top (Optional): Press additional marshmallows or chocolate pieces onto the tops of the dough balls for extra flair.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
