Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate bars chopped (or semisweet chocolate chips)
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 marshmallows cut in half
- 7.5 ounce semisweet chocolate bars cut into ½ inch squares
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the burner and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth using an electric hand mixer.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix to combine.
- Add the dry flour ingredients in two batches into the dough. The dough will be almost like a thick cake batter consistency.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Once the dough is chilled, line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the parchment paper. Flatten the tops slightly.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 minutes or until the cookie edges start to crack.
- While they are baking, cut the marshmallows in half. Stick one square of chocolate onto each cut side of the marshmallows. It will be on the sticky side so that the chocolate piece will stay in place.
- Remove the cookies from the oven. While still on the baking sheet, stick a marshmallow with the chocolate piece side down on top of each cookie. Place the cookies back into the oven for about four additional minutes until the marshmallows are soft.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to cooling racks to cool. Grate additional chocolate over the top for garnish if would like!
