Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Cocoa powder (Unsweetened)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (Softened, 2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar (Packed)
- 2 large Eggs (Room temperature)
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips (Optional)
- 1 cup Marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened butter together with granulated sugar and brown sugar for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, providing a smooth base for the cookie dough.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined for a smooth wet mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed just until combined to avoid overmixing, then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to add bursts of chocolate.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into approximately 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Flatten: Gently press down each dough ball slightly and create a small indentation in the center using your thumb, preparing for the marshmallow topping.
- Pipe Marshmallow: Fill a piping bag with the marshmallow fluff and pipe a generous dollop into the indentation at the center of each cookie to add gooey sweetness.
- Create Swirl: Use a toothpick to carefully swirl the marshmallow fluff into the chocolate cookie dough, crafting a beautiful marbled pattern on each cookie.
- Bake: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly underdone for a soft texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set perfectly without drying out.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs ensures better incorporation into the dough for a consistent texture.
- Do not overbake; slightly underdone centers create a chewy, soft cookie.
- Swirling the marshmallow fluff carefully prevents it from melting away during baking.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate bursts.
