Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
These chocolate covered chocolate marshmallow cookies are fun, easy, and a tasty treat. A favorite from my childhood!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Approximately 3 dozen marshmallows
- 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate (7 oz), chopped or use chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixer all at once and mix on low until just combined.
- Scoop by the rounded tablespoon onto the prepared sheet pan. Roll into balls.
- Bake until cookie tops start to crack, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top each cookie with a marshmallow. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 2 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and use your fingers to flatten the marshmallows a little. Let cool completely.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of barely simmering water. Let chocolate melt, stirring frequently, and remove as soon as no lumps remain. Use a spoon to cover each cooled cookie with chocolate. Put in the fridge to firm up.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies are best if consumed the day they are made, but will keep for several days.
