# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Sugars

01 - 165 g packed brown sugar
02 - 150 g granulated sugar

→ Mix-ins

03 - 175 g chocolate chips or chunks
04 - 270 g mini marshmallows (chill first)

→ Wet Items

05 - 30 ml milk
06 - 10 ml vanilla extract
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 227 g unsalted butter, softened

→ Flavor Boosters

09 - Pinch sea salt for topping
10 - 2 g espresso powder (you can skip this)

→ Dry Items

11 - 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
12 - 5 g salt
13 - 5 g baking soda
14 - 280 g all-purpose flour

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Turn your oven on to 190°C and cover your baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Mix flour, salt, and baking soda well in a medium bowl.
03 - With a mixer, beat the softened butter along with both sugars until the mix is fluffy and light, about 2 or 3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one by one, then mix in vanilla until everything blends nicely.
05 - Stir together cocoa with milk and espresso powder if you’re using it, until it’s smooth and ready.
06 - Slowly fold dry mix into the buttery blend just until mixed. Then fold in chocolate bits and gently swirl in the cocoa paste.
07 - Gently fold in the mini marshmallows carefully so they stay whole and spread out evenly.
08 - Drop dough by spoonfuls on sheets with some space between each. Bake 9 to 11 minutes until edges firm up but centers stay soft.
09 - Let cookies sit on the sheets for 5 minutes then put them on a wire rack to cool completely.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Freezing marshmallows before adding them helps keep them from melting too much while baking.
02 - Adding espresso powder makes the chocolate taste stronger but you can leave it out if you want.
03 - If you want richer flavor, go with dark chocolate chips.
