Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 24 pieces mini marshmallows
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly and bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately press one mini marshmallow into the center of each cookie while they are still warm.
Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the marshmallows soften and puff up slightly.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top of each cookie, covering the marshmallow slightly.
Allow the glaze to set at room temperature or refrigerate the cookies for a faster setting time.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaway Cookies!
