Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Whisk It Up: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Set this aside, and let those dry ingredients mingle.
- Butter and Sugar Time: In a larger mixing bowl, itâs time for some sweet magic! Cream together the room temperature butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffyâabout 3-4 minutes should do the trick. You want it so fluffy that it could practically float away!
- Add the Good Stuff: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract as you go along. The aroma will have you swooning!
- Combine the Mixtures: Gradually mix in your dry ingredients. Take it easy here; you donât want to overdo it! Just mix until everything is just combined.
- Chill Out: Pop that cookie dough into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Chilling the dough helps to firm it up, making it easier to handle. Plus, itâs a good excuse to just chill yourself too!
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about 20 minutes before youâre ready to bake. Donât forget to line your baking sheets with parchment paper!
- Shape Those Cookies: Scoop and roll the chilled dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Now, press a little indent in the center of each dough ball and fill it generously with that marshmallow fluff. Donât be shy; more fluff equals more fun!
- Bake It Up: Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. You want the edges to be set while keeping the centers soft and chewy, the ultimate cookie balance!
- Let Them Cool: After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This lets the marshmallow fluff set just enough to give you that perfect gooeyness.
Notes
- If your dough feels a little sticky after chilling, donât despair! Just give it another 30 minutes in the fridge. Itâll work wonders!
- You can use melted marshmallows instead of fluff if youâd like an even more decadent experience. Just remember, they melt quicker, so keep an eye on them while baking!
- Rotate your baking sheets halfway through for even bakingâthatâs my pro tip for ensuring each cookie comes out perfect.
