Step-by-step Instruction
To make Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies, you need to follow the steps carefully:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). And line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, add melted butter and granulated sugar. Beat them well with the hand mixer on medium until combined. This process takes approximately a minute. Now add the whole eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Here you can use a whisk to mix them up.

3. Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl (or directly into the same bowl), add the other ingredients, including flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and last salt. Mix them all together gently with a spatula or on low with the hand mixer until just combined. Do not overmix, unless the dough should be thick.

4. Fold in Add-ins
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in: chocolate chips and marshmallows.
💡 Tip: If using large marshmallows, chop them up or press a few into the top of each cookie instead of mixing them all into the dough.

5. Scoop Dough
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. One thing you need to remember here is that there should be about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

6. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly undercooked.

7. Cool & Ready
Let cookies cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack (if available) to cool completely. You now have soft, chewy, flavorful bakery-style Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies with gooey melted marshmallow and rich chocolate pieces!
