Calories: 11kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 sticks salted butter softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 ¼ cups flour aerated
- 8 tablespoon Hot Cocoa Mix
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Mix the sugar, brown sugar, and butter using a stand or hand mixer. You want the mixture to be light and slightly clumpy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until creamy.
- In another bowl, add the flour, hot cocoa powder, and baking soda and mix until incorporated.
- Gradually mix the cocoa mixture with the wet ingredients. Soft cookie dough will form.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and 1 cup of marshmallows.
- Roll the dough into balls by using a small cookie scoop to measure each cookie.
- Place the formed cookie dough on parchment inside the air fryer basket. Leave some space between cookies.
- Cook at 300°f for 10 minutes. At 6 minutes, top each cookie with 2-3 marshmallows from the remaining amount which will flatten the cookies.
- Once cooked, remove the cookies and place them on a baking rack to allow them time to cool.
- Enjoy these cookies with milk or a hot cup of cocoa.
Notes
Space the cookies: leave some space between cookies in the air fryer. Once you top them with the marshmallows, they will flatten a bit and take up more room.
Work in batches: you’ll need to cook these cookies in batches as there are so many. As one batch is cooking, let the previous batch cool on a cookie rack. They come out ultra-soft and need time to cool before moving them to a storage container.
To bake in the oven: If you don't have or want to use an air fryer, you can make these in the oven. Just bake on a parchment lined baking sheet at 325° F for approximately 12 minutes (adding marshmallows after 7 minutes) and watch for doneness.
