Ingredients:
- 125g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 + 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp baking powder, sifted
- 100g dark chocolate chips
- 100g milk chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- Additional dark chocolate pieces (for topping)
- Marshmallows (for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy and light. Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sifted flour and baking powder. Gradually stir this into the creamed butter mixture until just combined.
- Add oats and chocolate: Fold in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly, and press a few dark chocolate pieces and a marshmallow into the top of each cookie.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the marshmallows are lightly browned.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
