Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds or walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  • Combine Wet Ingredients
    In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.

  • Form the Dough
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cookie.

  • Add Mix-Ins
    Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

  • Scoop and Bake
    Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

  • Bake Cookies
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. This ensures a soft, fudgy texture.

  • Cool and Serve
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Chilling the Dough: For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
  • Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Nut Alternatives: If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute nuts with an equal amount of additional chocolate chips or dried fruits.
