Ingredients

1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs room temperature
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 cups All Purpose Flour
½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
¾ cup White Chocolate Chips
12 large Marshmallows cut in half

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
Bake for 5 minutes. Go in with a spoon and gently press down on the tops of the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and quickly press one marshmallow half onto the top of each cookie. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are soft, gooey and lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
