Easy and quick Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies filled with rich cocoa and gooey mini marshmallows, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 113 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (1 stick / ½ cup / 4oz)
- 165 g plain (all-purpose) flour (1 ¼ cups / 5.8oz)
- 55 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder (½ cup / 2oz)
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda (bicarb soda)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar (135g / 4.8oz)
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar (50g / 1.8oz)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon demerara sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then allow it to cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until blended.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredient mixture using a spatula until combined. Some lumps are okay.
- Let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and create a small dent in the center for mini marshmallows.
- Place the cookie balls on the lined baking trays with space in between.
- If using, sprinkle demerara sugar on top of each cookie. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the trays for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Allowing the dough to rest helps maintain cookie shapes and makes it easier to work with. Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
