Deliciously chewy chocolate chunk toasted marshmallow ginger cookies baked with caramel-like brown butter and molasses for the ultimate treat. I took your favorite, perfectly spiced ginger cookies and made them extra special with puddles of chocolate and gooey marshmallows in every bite!

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
Make your brown butter: add butter to a saucepan and place over medium high heat. The butter will begin to melt, crackle and then after a couple minutes, foam. Make sure you whisk constantly during this process. Right after the butter foams, it will begin to brown and turn a nice golden amber color on the bottom of the saucepan. Continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes or until cool enough to touch.
With an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cooled brown butter and brown sugar until well combined, 1 minute. Next, add in the egg, vanilla, and molasses until mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. (NOTE: Make sure your egg is at room temp before using – simply place in a bowl of warm water for 1-2 minutes.)
Add the dry ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix on medium low-speed just until combined. Add in the mini marshmallows and dark chocolate chunks and mix on low speed until just incorporated into the dough, or alternatively, mix in with a wooden spoon. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
While your dough chills, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add sugar for rolling into a medium bowl then set aside.
After the dough has chilled, use a medium cookie scoop to grab 2 tablespoonfuls of dough then place each ball in the bowl of sugar and roll until well coated. Place dough balls on the prepared pan at least 2 inches apart and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. It’s best to underbake these just a bit, so 10 to 11 minutes is usually perfect.
Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on sheets for about 5 to 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. They will still remain soft on the inside. Repeat with remaining dough. We love these with a cup of coffee! Makes about 20-22 cookies.
