  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 20 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup butter, softened (about 10.67 tablespoons)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt for topping, or add 1/4 teaspoon salt to batter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to help your cookies bake evenly.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until fully combined. This will help ensure an even rise for your cookies.

  3. Cream the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; doing so can result in tough cookies. The dough should be slightly soft and sticky.

  5. Add chocolate: Stir in the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The chocolate will start to melt as you mix, creating a few pockets of delicious gooey chocolate.

  6. Chill the dough (optional): If you have the time, cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for about 1 hour. Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking and allows the flavors to meld together. If you’re in a rush, you can skip this step, but it’s highly recommended for the best results.

  7. Scoop the dough: Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to form 18-20 dough balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  8. Add marshmallows: Cut your mini marshmallows into small pieces (about 2-3 pieces per cookie) and gently press them into the top of each cookie dough ball. The marshmallows will melt and puff up as they bake, creating that gooey marshmallow center.

  9. Sprinkle with sea salt: Before placing the cookies in the oven, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each one. This small touch enhances the sweetness of the chocolate and marshmallow, giving the cookies a touch of sophistication.

  10. Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Remember, don’t overbake if you want chewy, gooey cookies! They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you take them out of the oven.

  11. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to set and prevents them from falling apart while they’re still too soft.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix: Overmixing your cookie dough can lead to dense, hard cookies. Mix until everything is just combined, and you’ll get a light, chewy texture.
  • Chill the dough: While optional, chilling the dough gives your cookies better structure and flavor. If you’re in a rush, you can bake the dough immediately, but the difference in texture will be subtle.
  • Use good chocolate: The quality of your chocolate makes a difference! Try using a good-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Graham cracker crumbs: For an extra s’mores twist, sprinkle a little graham cracker crumb over the cookies before baking. This adds a delightful crunch and an additional layer of flavor.
  • Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on your cookies. You want them to be slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.

The Experience of Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

These cookies are a true treat for the senses. As they bake, the sweet scent of melting chocolate and marshmallow wafts through the kitchen, creating an atmosphere of warmth and anticipation. When you bite into one, the texture is perfection—soft and chewy with pockets of gooey chocolate and marshmallows that stretch just enough to make you feel like a kid again.

The marshmallows add a unique, airy sweetness that perfectly complements the rich, slightly caramelized taste of the brown sugar and the crunch from the granulated sugar. The chocolate chips provide bursts of bittersweet chocolate, balancing the sugariness of the marshmallows. And that touch of sea salt? It’s the final flourish that makes each bite a little bit more special.

These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re baking for a family get-together, making a batch for yourself, or surprising friends with a sweet gift. They also make a fantastic treat to enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
