Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk Powder
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder
- 1½ cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
Add-ins
- 1 cup Chocolate Chunks
- 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. This process helps incorporate air to create a tender cookie.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time until they are fully combined with the butter and sugar mixture, ensuring a smooth batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate and Marshmallows: Carefully fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without melting.
- Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be set but still soft in the center.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra gooey marshmallows, you can slightly press some mini marshmallows on top of the cookies right after baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- You can substitute chocolate chunks with chocolate chips if preferred.
