Soft, chewy cookies with rich chocolate and gooey marshmallow swirls perfect for cozy moments.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (7.75 oz)
02 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (1.41 oz)
03 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
04 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (4 oz)
06 - ¾ cup granulated sugar (5.29 oz)
07 - ½ cup packed light brown sugar (3.53 oz)
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins

10 - ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (3.17 oz)
11 - 1 cup mini marshmallows (1.76 oz)
12 - ⅓ cup marshmallow fluff (2.12 oz), optional

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed with no lumps.
03 - Using a hand or stand mixer, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, scraping down bowl sides as needed.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid toughness.
06 - Gently fold semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough ensuring even distribution.
07 - Carefully fold mini marshmallows and optional marshmallow fluff into dough, preserving streaks to create swirl effect without overmixing.
08 - Scoop dough onto prepared sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling and firm up.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Avoid overbaking as cookies will continue to cook slightly after removal. Marshmallows may ooze and caramelize for a toasty flavor.
02 - Chilling dough for 30 minutes before baking will yield thicker cookies.
