Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 24 mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Stir in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, flatten them slightly in your hand, and place one mini marshmallow in the center. Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, sealing it completely, and roll it into a ball.
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch. Serve and enjoy the surprise gooey center!
