Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings:

  • 12 large marshmallows, cut in half (or 1 cup mini marshmallows)
  • 1/4 cup crushed candy canes or chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and light.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
    • Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
  5. Scoop and bake:
    • Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  6. Add the marshmallows:
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and quickly place half a marshmallow (cut side down) on top of each cookie.
    • Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly golden.
  7. Cool and decorate:
    • Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
    • Optional: Sprinkle crushed candy canes or chocolate shavings over the marshmallows while they are still warm.
  8. Serve:
    • Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or a mug of hot chocolate!

Notes

  • For extra chocolatey cookies, mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips into the dough.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
