Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheating: Calibrate the oven to 350F (175C) and drape a parchment sheet across the baking surface, establishing a pristine workspace.
- Mixing Wet Components: In a substantial mixing vessel, whip butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a cloud-like consistency. Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, blending until achieving a velvety, uniform mixture.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a separate bowl, thoroughly amalgamating the dry elements with a delicate whisking technique.
- Dough Formation: Delicately fold the dry ingredient ensemble into the wet mixture, maintaining a gentle touch to preserve the dough’s tender structure. Carefully incorporate chocolate chips and Lucky Charms marshmallows, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Cookie Shaping and Placement: Craft rounded dough portions using a scoop or spoon, strategically positioning them on the prepared baking sheet with ample spacing to accommodate natural expansion during baking.
- Baking Process: Slide the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven, allowing 9-11 minutes of transformation. Look for set edges while maintaining a soft, pillowy center as the primary doneness indicator.
- Finishing Touches: Upon oven extraction, adorn each cookie’s surface with additional Lucky Charms marshmallows, creating a whimsical and enticing presentation. Rest cookies on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling and optimal textural development.
Notes
- Control Marshmallow Melting: Lucky Charms marshmallows can melt quickly, so add extra marshmallows after baking to preserve their original colorful shape and prevent complete disintegration during cooking.
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold dry and wet ingredients to maintain a tender cookie texture, stopping mixing as soon as ingredients are just combined to avoid tough, dense cookies.
- Temperature Precision: Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother blending and better cookie consistency, ensuring even distribution of ingredients and optimal texture.
- Storage Strategy: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, placing a piece of bread inside to keep them soft and prevent rapid hardening.
