Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and half of the mini marshmallows, reserving the other half for topping the cookies later.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

              Add Marshmallow Topping: Top each cookie dough ball with a few of the reserved mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, if using.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remember, they'll continue to cook as they cool, so be careful not to overbake!

                  Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your warm, gooey, hot chocolate marshmallow cookies with a glass of milk or a mug of hot cocoa!
