Looking for a unique twist on classic cookies? Marshmallow cookies are a perfect treat that combines a soft, chewy texture with a gooey, sweet marshmallow center. These cookies are simple to make and will surely impress family and friends!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut into small pieces)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for s'mores-style)
Instructions:
Are as follow:
Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Egg and Vanilla:
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the Cookies:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the marshmallows have melted, creating a gooey center. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning the marshmallows.
Cool and Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
For a s'mores-style cookie, add some crushed graham crackers to the dough or sprinkle them on top before baking.
Don't overbake the cookies if you want a soft, chewy texture with gooey marshmallow centers.
Store leftovers in an airtight container, but note that the marshmallow centers may firm up a bit over time.
These marshmallow cookies are the perfect combination of chewy, chocolatey goodness with a fun, gooey surprise in every bite!
