Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a clean workspace for cookie production.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture transforms into a light, fluffy consistency. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the blend achieves a silky smooth texture.
- Simultaneously, in a separate vessel, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt through a gentle whisking motion, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Gradually merge the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, folding carefully to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Gently introduce chocolate chips and Lucky Charms marshmallows into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Utilize a spoon or cookie scoop to form rounded portions, placing them strategically on the prepared baking sheet with approximately two inches of separation to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Transfer the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to transform for 9-11 minutes until the edges appear set while maintaining a soft, yielding center.
- Immediately upon removing from the oven, embellish each cookie’s surface with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows, creating a playful and visually appealing finish.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a brief five-minute cooling period before transitioning them to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal texture development.
Notes
- Customize marshmallow intensity by adjusting the amount of Lucky Charms, letting you control the sweetness and texture.
- Swap regular chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate for a unique flavor profile that transforms the cookie experience.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies with more defined edges.
- Make the recipe gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, ensuring everyone can enjoy these playful treats.
