Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For Topping
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar For dusting
  • 1/4 tsp edible shimmer dust (silver or pearl)
  • 2 tbsp melted chocolate For drizzle, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until a soft dough forms.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop dough into small drops (about 1 tablespoon each) and place on the baking sheet.
  3. Gently press mini marshmallows into the tops of each cookie.
  4. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is soft.
  5. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar and edible shimmer dust.
  7. Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate for extra richness.

Notes

Serve warm for maximum gooeyness; the marshmallow centers are at their most pillowy straight from the oven. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
