Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff
Sweeteners and Binding:
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Additional Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a clean canvas for your decadent treats.
- Utilize a stand mixer to whip butter and sugars into a creamy, aerated mixture until the texture becomes light and voluminous. Introduce the egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a smooth base.
- Carefully sift together the dry ingredients in a separate vessel, combining flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt with meticulous precision.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the butter blend, stirring gently to maintain a delicate consistency. Avoid overmixing to preserve the cookie’s tender structure.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Introduce marshmallow fluff in small increments, creating elegant marbled swirls. Use a large cookie scoop to form generous dough balls, ensuring each contains a picturesque ribbon of marshmallow.
- Arrange the cookie dough on the prepared sheet, spacing each ball approximately two inches apart to allow for proper spreading during baking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and monitor the cookies closely. Bake for 10-12 minutes, aiming for a soft center with slightly firmer edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, enabling them to set and develop their final texture.
- Serve and relish these indulgent chocolate marshmallow delights while still slightly warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Marbling magic happens when you gently fold marshmallow fluff into the chocolate cookie dough, creating stunning swirls in every bite.
- Precision matters: use a large cookie scoop to ensure consistent cookie size and even distribution of marshmallow fluff throughout each cookie.
- Pro tip for chocolate lovers: sifting cocoa powder and espresso powder together intensifies the rich, deep chocolate flavor and prevents clumping.
- Patience is key when creaming butter and sugars – take the full 2 minutes to achieve a light, fluffy base that guarantees tender cookies.
- Watch baking time closely – 10-12 minutes creates the perfect texture with soft centers and slightly crisp edges, preventing dry or burnt cookies.
