Cookie Dough
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Swirl Fillings
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Incorporate Swirl Fillings: Gently fold the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough, creating swirls of marshmallow and chocolate throughout the mixture without fully blending them in.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop rounded tablespoons of the swirled cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers are set yet soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm for the best gooey marshmallow texture or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with chopped large marshmallows if desired.
- For an extra chocolatey kick, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prior to baking can help maintain cookie shape.
