Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter softened (butter needs to be slightly soft at room temperature not melted)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 24-36 Large Marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, blend the butter with the sugar, vanilla and butter until smooth (I used a hand held mixer or stand up mixer for this).
  • Add in the eggs 1 at a time until thoroughly combined.
  • Then hand mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
  • Scoop approximately 1 Tbsp of the dough onto a baking sheet and ensure that they are approximately 2 in a part.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are set and middle is still soft.
  • Place a marshmallow in the center of each cookie and press them down slightly.
  • Bake for another 2-3 minutes to melt the marshmallow slightly.
  • Transfer the cookies to a cool rack and allow them to cool completely.
  • Dust some cocoa powder over the top of the cookies for decoration.
  • Enjoy!
