Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and brown sugar together until light, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing on medium-low speed until combined.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips, almonds, and marshmallows. Scoop balls of cookie dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until mostly set, but still underbaked in the middle. Remove from the oven and immediately place a few extra marshmallows on top of each cookie, along with a few extra chopped almonds and chocolate chips, if desired. Return to the oven and bake for 1 minute longer, until marshmallows have puffed slightly.
  7. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from my Chewy Brownie Cookies.
  • You can use walnuts or pecans in place of the almonds.
  • These cookies do not look like the photos until you take the extra step mentioned in step 6 of adding a few marshmallows to the top of each cookie just before they are done. If you do this too early, the marshmallows will melt.
  • For more uniform looking cookies, gently roll the scooped dough into balls between the palms of your hands before baking on the cookie sheets.
