  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour The main structure ingredient for cookies; substitute with a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder Delivers the essential chocolate flavor; use Dutch-processed for a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Functions as a leavening agent for a slight rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
