Prep: 15 min · Cook: 11 min · Yield: 24 · Method: Oven
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups miniature marshmallows
Cooking instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (about 5 min) — 350°F
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. (about 2 min)
- Beat the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. (about 5 min)
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. (about 8 min) — 350°F
- Remove the sheets from the oven and gently press 2 or 3 miniature marshmallows onto each cookie. Return to the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the cookies are set and the marshmallows are lightly puffed. (about 3 min) — 350°F
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. (about 5 min)
