Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pecan halves roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, applesauce and sugars until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture, and beat on low speed, until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a plastic spatula, fold in the chocolate chips, marshmallows and pecans. Stir until just combined.
- Cover the finished cookie dough with plastic wrap, and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least an hour.
- When the cookies have finished chilling, preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Using a cookie scoop, form dough balls and place on the baking sheet about 3" apart from one another.
- Bake for about 12 minutes or until puffed and slightly cracked.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before eating with a chilled glass of milk.
Notes
- Adapted from last year's Peppermint Dark Chocolate Cookies.
- Makes around 3 dozen cookies, depending on the size you decide to make them. (I used a 1" cookie scoop for mine.)
- If you want to make your cookies a little softer, replace half of the butter with ½ cup unsweetened applesauce.
