Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon espresso powder optional
  • 2 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips*

Sugar coating

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cocoa powder

Topping

  • 3 bars of chocolate broken into large pieces
  • 15 marshmallows regular sized, cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the sugar and mix until full combined. You may need to scrap down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add in the vanilla, eggs, and espresso powder, if using, and mix until combined. Mixture will look really wet.
  • Turn the mixture to low and add in the flour ½ cup at a time then add the cocoa powder.
  • Turn the mixer up to medium speed and add in the baking powder and salt. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottoms.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips.
  • In a small bowl combine the sugar and cocoa powder for the sugar topping. Roll each cookie dough ball in the toping then place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes- until the cookies look just done and remove from oven. Turn oven to broil on High.
  • Once you’ve removed the cookies from the oven place a piece of chocolate and half a marshmallow on top of each cookie.
  • Place baking sheet back in oven for 1 minute or less! Watch them carefully- you want the tops of the marshmallows to brown slightly then they are done!
  • Remove from oven and enjoy!

Notes

Lisa's Tips and Tricks

* I used 1 cup semi-sweet regular and 1 cup semi-sweet large chocolate chips, but use whatever you have!
*I like to cube my butter so it’s easier/faster for the mixer to whip up.
