Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
- ¾ cup (100g) chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Dust marshmallows lightly with flour if they stick together while folding into the dough.
