Chocolate marshmallow cookies are an easy and amazingly delicious recipe you need to make pronto! Soft and tender chocolate cookies are dotted with gooey marshmallow pieces for a cookie everyone will love.

Mixing the dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Place the butter and ¾ cup the chocolate chips into a small saucepan and melt over very low heat, whisking occasionally. You want to use very low heat and go slow so you don’t burn the chocolate.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add the sugar and eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for five minutes, or until very smooth and light in colour.
- Beat the cooled melted chocolate into the sugar and egg mixture until combined.
- Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until just mixed – don’t over mix. The dough will be very soft, almost like cake batter.
- Gently fold the remaining chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for thirty minutes.
Baking the cookies
- Scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets, setting them two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just firm to the touch.
- Cool the cookies for about ten minutes on the pan before removing to cool fully on a rack.
Cookie Storage information
These cookies will keep in an airtight container for about a week.
You can also place them in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 6 months. They freeze super well!
