Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the baking soda, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined to keep the dough tender.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly crispy but the centers are still soft and look a bit underdone.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes; they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The centers will set as the cookies cool, creating the perfect chewy texture.
- Serve and enjoy the delightful taste of s’mores in every cookie bite!
Indulge in these Gooey Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies whenever you crave a sweet, comforting treat that reminds you of fun times around the campfire.
