Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 12 large marshmallows, halved

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Form the Cookies: Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions of dough and flatten them slightly. Place a marshmallow half in the center, then wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges completely. Roll into a smooth ball.
  5. Bake: Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the Topping: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  7. Decorate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap large marshmallows for mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff if preferred.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes or holiday sprinkles over the chocolate drizzle.
