Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with coconut oil for dairy-free option
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each ball for spreading.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will look a bit soft.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

To keep cookies fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. Cookies can be frozen for up to three months.
