Ingredients List
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
How to Prepare Ooey Gooey Double Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s super important to get that oven nice and hot so your cookies bake evenly!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. You’ll want to keep mixing until it’s super smooth—trust me, it makes a difference!
- Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well incorporated before moving on to the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps to ensure even distribution of all those delicious dry ingredients!
- Gradually add the dry mixture to your wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Don’t overmix; you want to keep that lovely, soft texture!
- Now, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. This is where the magic happens! You’ll want those gooey marshmallows and chocolate bits evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They’ll spread out a bit while baking, so give them some room!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. They’ll continue to cook a bit on the baking sheet, so don’t worry if they look a little underdone!
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial—the cooling process helps them firm up just right!
