Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and nuts.
  5. Drop mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm but centers look slightly underbaked. Allow cooling on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring.
