How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). The smell of melting chocolate will soon be wafting through your kitchen, trust me on this one!
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s fluffy, about 2-3 minutes! You want to beat it until it’s light and airy. Just melt into the moment while you’re doing this. Seriously, it’s therapeutic.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. I like to add a splash of the vanilla extract here, too, just to make sure everyone gets to know each other well from the start. Those flavors will just mingle beautifully!
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is key; it ensures everything gets evenly distributed. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overdo it!
Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. The cookie dough will start looking like something magical, I promise. The gooey marshmallows and chocolate, ahh, pure bliss!
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them enough space to spread. This part is always fun, make sure you sneak a taste of the dough, ‘cause you know you want to!
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers will look slightly underbaked, that’s where the chewy goodness will come from. Once they’re out of the oven, let those beauties cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. If you can resist the urge to dig in right away, that is!
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The aroma will drive your family wild as they eagerly wait for cookie time!

Serving and Storage Tips

How to Serve This Cookie Recipe

These chocolate marshmallow cookies are delightful on their own, but if you want to get a little fancy, try serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Trust me, that warm gooey chocolate combined with cold creamy ice cream is a match made in dessert heaven.

Storing Your Cookies

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for about 5 days at room temperature. Just make sure they’re completely cooled before you store them so they don’t get soggy.

Freezer Friendly?

Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. For the best results, store them in a freezer-friendly bag or container. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to reheat slightly, just don’t blame me if you can’t resist eating them straight out of the freezer!

Reheating Instructions

To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until warm. You could also set them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them!
