Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Butter
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Extra Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees, and get a baking sheet ready with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed. You want to mix them long enough that they become light and fluffy, but not so long that it starts to reform into lumps.
  • Add in the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until these wet ingredients are smooth.
  • While your eggs are getting incorporated, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate large bowl.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Don't dump it in all at once, or you're guaranteed to have lumps in your cookie dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop evenly-sized cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • It's time to add some hot cocoa ingredients! Gently press your thumb into the center of each cookie to create a well. This is easiest if you dip your thumb in water first, or give it a quick spritz with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In each well, place a few mini marshmallows. This will melt into gooey marshmallow perfection!
  • Bake the cookie for 8 to 10 minutes. Move the cookies to a cooling rack, and then quickly top them with extra marshmallows and chocolate chips while they are still warm. Now it's time to enjoy!
