For making the Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll need the following tools:

• Mixing Bowls: A large bowl for combining the cookie dough ingredients and a smaller ones for measuring.
• Measuring Scale: To accurately measure all your ingredients in grams.
• Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer: For creaming the butter and sugars, and mixing the dough.
• Spatula: To fold in the dry ingredients and combine the mixtures.

Here is the full Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 100 g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
• 114 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 180 g (1 1/2 cups) flour
• Pinch of salt
• 135 g (3/4 cup) chocolate chips
• 50 g (1/4 cup) mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda, flour, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. Fold in the Goodies: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Chill the Dough: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps to firm up the dough and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 10 equal portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are slightly crispy but the centers still look a bit raw. Trust me, they will continue to bake while cooling.
6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they finish baking through and achieve the perfect texture. Enjoy your delicious marshmallow chocolate chip cookies!

Tips and Tricks:

Tips for the Cookies:

• Butter: Use melted butter for a chewy texture, and ensure it’s slightly cooled before mixing with the sugars.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Stir just until the flour is incorporated.
• Chilling the Dough: Chilling helps to firm up the dough, making it easier to handle and preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
• Use Fresh Marshmallows: For the best gooey texture, use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows may not melt as well and can become chewy rather than gooey.
• Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents excessive spreading, keeping the marshmallows and chocolate in place.
• Mix and Match Chocolate: Use a combination of chocolate chips and chunks for a more varied texture. The chunks add extra pockets of melted chocolate throughout the cookies.
• Add a Touch of Sea Salt: For a flavor boost, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies right before baking. The salt enhances the sweetness and adds a delightful contrast.

General Tips:

• Baking Time: The cookies might look underbaked when you take them out of the oven, but they will continue to cook and set as they cool on the baking sheet.
• Check for Doneness: These cookies should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool, so be careful not to overbake.
• Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. This also helps with cleanup.
• Store Properly: Store these cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness and gooey texture. If they start to harden, you can briefly microwave them to restore their gooeyness.
• Try Different Mix-Ins: Experiment with adding other mix-ins like crushed graham crackers or toffee bits to add more layers of flavor and texture.
• Serve Warm: These cookies are at their best when served warm. Reheat them slightly before serving to enjoy the gooey, melted marshmallows and chocolate.
