Ingredients

  • 170 g (1 ⅓ cups + 1 tbsp) all-purpose flour
  • 42 g (½ cup) black cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 113 g (8 tablespoon) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 7 large marshmallows, cut in half
  • 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, black cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light & fluffy for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
  • Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula, then mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until fully combined. The dough will be very thick.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. Flatten out one cookie dough ball just enough to fit one marshmallow half. Flatten out a second cookie dough ball very thin and rip a small hole in the center, then place on top of the marshmallow. Gently roll into a ball and barely seal the hole, then roll in sugar. The sealed hole will ensure the marshmallow peaks through in the center.
  • Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets spaced about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until cracked and the marshmallows peak through.
  • Remove from the oven, and immediately use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in to create perfectly round cookies. Allow to completely on the baking sheet and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop. Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into equally sized cookies!
  • Carefully stuff the marshmallows in the cookie dough. To ensure the marshmallows peak through the cracks and do not dissolve into the cookie, it needs a thick cookie dough base and a very thin cookie dough top. I like to rip a small hole in the top and barely seal it back together. This allows the marshmallow to break through more easily.
  • Scoot the baked cookies. Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in and shape a perfectly round cookie!
