Description
These Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies are rich, chewy, and gooey with melty chocolate chips and pockets of marshmallow, topped with an optional swirl of marshmallow fluff for a bakery-style finish.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut into pieces)
Optional: ¼ cup marshmallow fluff for swirling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Gently fold in mini marshmallows. If using, swirl in the marshmallow fluff lightly.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Tuck in any exposed marshmallows.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tuck marshmallows inside the dough to prevent burning.
Optional add-ins include peanut butter chips, graham crackers, or peppermint bits.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a gooey texture.
You can freeze the cookie dough and bake directly from frozen with a slight increase in bake time.
