Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies (Gooey & Decadent)
⭐ Why you’ll love them
These double chocolate marshmallow cookies strike the perfect balance: soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the outside, and filled with melted marshmallow for that irresistible stretch.
🛒 Ingredients (makes 12–14 cookies)
- 150g plain flour
- 40g cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 120g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g chocolate chips (dark or milk)
- 12–14 marshmallows (or mini marshmallows)
👩🍳 Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop a portion of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a marshmallow in the centre. Wrap the dough around it, sealing well, then place on the tray. Repeat, spacing the cookies apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centres still look soft.
Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes—they’ll firm up while staying gooey inside.
🍽️ Serving ideas
Serve these gooey chocolate marshmallow cookies warm with:
- A glass of cold milk
- Hot chocolate for extra indulgence
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
🔍 Tips for perfect cookies
Seal the marshmallow completely to prevent it leaking out.
Don’t overbake—soft centres make all the difference.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky to handle.
🔄 Variations
- S’mores style: Add crushed digestive biscuits to the dough
- Stuffed cookies: Use chocolate-filled marshmallows
- Festive twist: Sprinkle with sea salt for contrast
🧊 Storage
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm slightly before serving to bring back that gooey centre.
These easy chocolate marshmallow cookies are rich, fun, and just a bit nostalgic—exactly the kind of bake that disappears almost as quickly as you make it.
