Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly for the best results!

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.

Shape the Cookies

Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may still look soft but will firm up while cooling.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious cookies with a glass of milk!

Tips for Perfect Cookies

For the best results, make sure your butter is at room temperature before you begin. This will help achieve that light and fluffy texture when creaming it with the sugars. If your butter is too cold, it won’t blend well, leading to denser cookies.

When measuring your flour and cocoa powder, spoon them into the measuring cup instead of scooping directly. This technique prevents compacting, ensuring you don’t end up with dry cookies. Remember, baking is a science, and accurate measurements are key to your cookie success!

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week without losing their delightful texture and flavor. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing the cookies.

To freeze, place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.
