Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
Form the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the marshmallows are lightly browned.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
Serving Tips:
Warm & Gooey: For the best experience, enjoy these cookies warm right out of the oven. The chocolate will be gooey, and the marshmallows will be perfectly melted.
Pairing: Serve with a glass of milk or a hot cup of cocoa for an extra indulgent treat.
Presentation: Arrange the cookies on a platter or in a cookie jar for a delightful homemade gift or party treat.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. This will keep them soft and fresh.
Freezing: To keep cookies for longer periods, freeze them. Place cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Cookie Dough: You can also freeze the cookie dough. Scoop dough balls onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

FAQs:
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
While unsalted butter is preferred for baking to control the amount of salt in the recipe, you can use salted butter. If you do, omit the added salt in the recipe to avoid overly salty cookies.
Can I substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows instead of mini ones. Just chop them into smaller pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the cookies.
How can I prevent the marshmallows from burning?
To prevent burning, ensure that the cookies are spaced evenly on the baking sheet and avoid overbaking. The marshmallows should be lightly browned but not burnt. If you notice them browning too quickly, you can tent the cookies with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Can I make these cookies in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the cookie dough ahead of time. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, let the dough thaw slightly and then proceed with baking as directed. You can also bake the cookies in advance and store them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days at room temperature or longer if frozen.
Conclusion:
These Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household. Their rich chocolatey flavor combined with the irresistible gooey marshmallows make them an unforgettable treat. Happy baking!
