Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 ⅓ cups (170 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 g) cocoa powder
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp espresso powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Creaming: Blend butter and sugars in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, creating a smooth, homogeneous base.
- Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt together, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Dough Formation: Gently combine dry ingredients with butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated to maintain a tender cookie texture. Fold in chocolate chips with precision.
- Marshmallow Integration: Delicately swirl marshmallow fluff throughout the dough, creating elegant marbled patterns using a large cookie scoop for consistent portioning.
- Baking: Arrange dough balls on prepared sheet, spacing two inches apart. Slide into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, targeting a soft center with slightly crisp edges.
- Cooling: Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to rest for 10 minutes, enabling them to set and develop a perfect, slightly chewy consistency.
- Serving: Enjoy these decadent chocolate marshmallow cookies while still warm, savoring the rich, gooey texture and complex flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill for Better Texture: Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance cookie structure.
- Master Marshmallow Swirling: Use a toothpick or knife to create elegant marbled patterns without overmixing the marshmallow fluff.
- Monitor Baking Closely: Watch cookies carefully during the last 2 minutes to prevent burning, as chocolate and marshmallow can quickly overcook.
- Store Strategically: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
