Ingredients

  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 c. white sugar
  • 1 c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 c. salted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 c. (12 oz.) miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 oz. miniature marshmallows, frozen

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Until you are ready to assemble the cookies just prior to baking, keep the marshmallows in the freezer; otherwise they will thaw too rapidly.
  • In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa and baking soda.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine sugars in a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer, blend in butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips and blend at low speed until combined. Butter will be very stiff.
  • Gather 4 to 5 frozen marshmallows in the palm of your hand and cover them with a heaping tablespoonful of dough.
  • Wrap the dough around the marshmallows,
  • completely encasing them and forming a 2-inch diameter dough ball.
  • Place balls on ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cool on pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cool flat surface.
