How to Make Chocolate Cookies With Marshmallows

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar and the butter. Add in both eggs, vanilla, and mix until well combined.

In another bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and flour.

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until well combined.

It will look like this.

Scoop out a large ball of dough and flatten it with your hands.  See my big ol’ handprint in there?! 

TIP: You are going to have to put a marshmallow inside during the next step and roll the dough around the marshmallow, so don’t make it too thin or it will fall apart in your hands. If that happens the first time — don’t you worry — just roll the dough up again and give it another try. You might want to try making a couple of these first to get the thickness just the way you want it. These Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallow took some time for me to finesse, myself!

Place a marshmallow in the middle.

Now wrap the sides up to the top.

Shape into a large ball.

Roll in some granulated sugar.

and place onto a cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Once you start to see some marshmallow poke through on the top, remove the cookie sheet.

Then let them cookies cool for about 5 minutes before removing from sheet. 

And there you have it — ooey-gooey marshmallow magic inside some delightfully delicious chocolate! My Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallow is a family staple around here!

Let The Cookies Cool on the Cookie Sheet

The cookies will be delicate when removed from the oven. They will hold up better if allowed to cool for several minutes before removing from the cookie sheet, so just hold your horses! It’s only a few minutes. Just keep a napkin handy for drooling as you wait to dig into these beauties!

Further Cool on A Sheet of Parchment Paper

When cooling, it’s best to cool them on a sheet of parchment paper, rather than a cooling rack with bars.

Can I Reuse Parchment Paper?

Why, yes you can! You can reuse parchment paper quite a few times to save some $$. Don’t get too frugal though – when that paper is brittle and dirty, its time to put her to rest in the circular file.

Practice Makes Perfect

On the first try, the marshmallow filling may not turn out exactly how you want it. May I suggest that with your batch, just try baking one or two cookies at a time to test your specific cooking time and process. My Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallow do best with 3-4 cookies on a sheet at a time.
