Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk Powder
- ½ cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1½ cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- 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 ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step incorporates air for a soft cookie texture.
- Add eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next to achieve 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 flavors.
- Combine dry and wet: Gradually add the dry mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in chocolate and marshmallows: Carefully fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows, spreading them evenly throughout the dough without melting or breaking them apart.
- Shape and bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cookies are set but still soft.
- Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing them from breaking.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier creaming and better cookie texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- Spacing the cookies adequately prevents them from merging during baking.
- For extra gooeyness, add a few extra mini marshmallows on top before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and softness.
