Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and walnuts or pecans.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best texture, do not overbake — the centers should stay slightly soft. Try swapping walnuts for pecans or almonds for a flavor twist. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
