Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter (softened) so it creams quicker
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed) for that rich caramel taste
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar the perfect balance
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract always go for pure
  • 1 large egg for moisture and binding
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour but measure right—no one likes crumbly cookies!
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder the magic dust
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda makes them puffy
  • ¼ teaspoon salt enhances all those sweet flavors
Mix-Ins
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips because there can never be too much chocolate
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (halved) for that chewy marshmallow joy
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds adds a nice crunch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 40 seconds and whisk until liquefied.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the bowl. Mix until combined and slightly fluffy.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix them into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and sliced almonds until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spaced about two inches apart.
  2. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until puffy but slightly underbaked in the center.
