Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, crushed mini pretzels, and mini marshmallows gently with a rubber spatula.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Chocolate Gremlins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
