Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
115 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
120 g (½ cup packed) light brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
150 g (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
100 g (1 cup) mini marshmallows
Optional:
30 g (¼ cup) chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds)
1 tsp espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
Instructions
Prepare dry mix: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Cream butter and sugars: In another bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add egg and vanilla: Beat until smooth.
Combine: Slowly add dry mixture into wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
Shape: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line tray with parchment. Scoop 2 tbsp dough per cookie. Space 2 inches apart. Press 1–2 marshmallows into tops.
Bake: Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers soft.
Cool: Rest cookies on tray 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.
Notes
For extra gooey centers, press a marshmallow into the middle before baking.
Don’t skip chilling—the dough spreads less and yields thicker cookies.
Use mini marshmallows; large ones melt too much.
