    These chocolate chip marshmallow cookies are a sweet and buttery cookie loaded with chocolate chips and toasty marshmallows. They're the upgrade you didn't even know you were missing out on, and now you'll never want to go without!

    These chocolate chip marshmallow cookies are going to become a new favorite! The bits of marshmallow make them so chewy, and the perfect compliment to the bits of chocolate.

    If you want to try some other ways to incorporate marshmallows into your baking you should try my graham cracker s'more cookies, cookie butter marshmallow cookies or my m&m rice krispie treats.

    WHY YOU WILL LOVE THESE COOKIES

    QUICK & EASY- These cookies are the perfect easy to whip up cookies. They take barely any time and use simple ingredients that are usually on hand.

    EXTRA CHEWY- The marshmallows in these cookies give the best chewy texture.

    CROWD PLEASER- Every time I make these cookies for anyone I always get rave reviews!

    INGREDIENT NOTES

    • BUTTER- I always use salted butter, but unsalted is fine to use also.
    • EGGS- Make sure your eggs are room temperature before starting. You can always put them in a bowl of room temp water to sit for 10 minutes to help.
    • FLOUR- Weighing your flour is always going to yield the best results. If you don't have that option lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup.
    • CHOCOLATE- I prefer to chop up a chocolate bar, but chips work great in these too.
    • MARSHMALLOWS- Mini marshmallows are what you need for these.

    STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

    STEP ONE: Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.

    STEP TWO: Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.

    STEP THREE: Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows and stir.

    STEP FOUR: Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. Chill dough for at least one hour.

    STEP FIVE: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 8-9 on sheet per baking so they don't run into eachother. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

    EXPERT BAKING TIPS

    Sometimes the marshmallow spreads out farther than the dough. If this happens run a small spoon or spatula around the outside right out of the oven to push it back to a perfect circle.

    I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.

    Although it isn't necessary to chill the dough, it does help these cookies from spreading as much.

    FAQ

    Can I bake these cookies with large marshmallows?

    No, this recipe wouldn't work with large marshmallows because they wouldn't bake up properly.

    Can the dough or the cookies be frozen?

    Yes, this dough and the cookies freeze perfectly, even with the marshmallows inside.

    Do I need to bake cookies on parchment paper?

    Using parchment paper or a silpat will help these cookies from sticking to the pan and spreading too much. If you don't have either I would spray your cookie sheet with baking spray.

    STORING AND FREEZING

    Chocolate chip marshmallow cookies will remain fresh if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also prep the cookie dough in advance and store it in the fridge for about a week.

    FREEZING

    You can freeze your cookies in an airtight container for 2-3 months with them remaining fresh. You can also freeze the cookie dough balls if you would like to bake them one at a time, or as needed.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 cup butter
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1½ cups chocolate chips or chopped bar
    • 1 cup mini marshmallows

    Instructions
     

    • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
    • Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
    • Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.

Sometimes the marshmallow spreads out farther than the dough. If this happens run a small spoon or spatula around the outside right out of the oven to push it back to a perfect circle.

    Notes

    The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, but should also not be room temperature. I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
    I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.

      I made these last night for a group of people and my family only got one cookie. They are requesting I make them again tonight. These are winners! I had so many people ask me for the recipe - always a sign of a great treat!

      These look super yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!! I was just wondering…if I wanted to make a small batch, would the outcome be the same if I used half the quantity of all ingredients?

      These were delicious! I substituted half of the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips the second time I made them. Both times they were a hit! I also made your coconut cake and apple tart for Christmas also…all of your recipes are amazing! My family thinks I’m a baker now lol

      I halved this recipe today, and accidentally made the cookies twice as large as the recipe called for So they had to stay in the oven several minutes longer than directed In the recipe. They are the tastiest chocolate chip cookies I can remember eating and I'm 72. I am not so crazy about the marshmallows but I put them in because these are for my grandkids; in future I'm just gonna Replace them with walnuts or just go with plain chocolate chips
