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 at the perfect temperature when your cookie dough is ready to bake.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well combined, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next to create a smooth, homogeneous 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 components.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows to evenly distribute them throughout the cookie dough.
- Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and avoid breaking.
Notes
- Use softened butter, not melted, to achieve the right cookie texture.
- For an extra gooey effect, add marshmallows halfway through baking or on top of the cookies after 7 minutes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
