Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 pieces mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop out 1½-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place a mini marshmallow in the center. Wrap the dough around the marshmallow completely, ensuring it is fully encased, and then roll the dough back into a smooth ball.
Place the prepared dough balls on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden 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.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Serve and enjoy your Christmas Surprise Cookies with family and friends!
