Chocolate Marshmallow Sea Salt Cookies

We can never have too many cookies, can we?

Have you ever tried to bake with marshmallows? Well, it’s a bitch. Their high-sugar content makes them melt in cookies…and then the cookies get oozy on one side and then it might be perfectly spherical on the other. And then you’re left with a lopsided, unsightly cookie. And we all know how I feel about unsightly cookies. Unacceptable.

So I hunted and searched, leaving no stone unturned, until I found the perfect petite marshmallow. You can make these cookies with regular marshmallows, but then you won’t have the same firm-marshmallow outcome. Go the extra mile and get these. The petite, dehydrated marshmallows…just like the type you find in a box of Lucky Charms. You’re welcome. Hide them from your kids, friends or late-night eating roommates. They’re spectacular.

These chocolate marshmallow cookies have all of the signature DisplacedHousewife cookie characteristics: nice girth, slight crunch around the exterior, soft and chewy on the interior and loaded with marshmallows + chocolate. I mean, what more could you ask for?

Let’s bake betches.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate (coarsely chopped)
• ½ cup (112 g) sunflower oil (or other light-flavored oil)
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon (13 g) real vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (165 g) light brown sugar (packed)
• ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (135 g) bread flour
• 3/4 cup (101 g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (21 g) cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking soda
• 1 teaspoon (6 g) sea salt
• 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows*
• 1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

• Put the semi-sweet chocolate and oil in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds and then stir. Continue to microwave in 10 second increments until the chocolate is melted. If you don’t have a microwave, a double boiler will work just fine. Set aside to cool a beat.
• Once the chocolate mixture is cooled a bit, whisk the eggs into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the vanilla, brown sugar and granulated sugar. This mixture will be thick…don’t panic. Set aside.
• In another bowl whisk together both flours, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda and salt. Pour the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture. Mix until barely combined. Add the mini marshmallows, chocolate + walnuts (if you’re using them) and give the cookie dough a couple more stirs. Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes in the fridge. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and have a rack in the top third of the oven…this is where you’ll bake your cookies. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Gently roll together 2 tablespoons of dough and allow at least two inches between the dough balls. Try to make them as spherical as possible. They will spread a touch while baking. If you have the time, I highly recommend either freezing these dough balls for 5 minutes or placing them in the fridge for 20 minutes prior to baking. This will keep cookie spread to a minimum. You know how I like girth in a cookie. Bake for 11 minutes. You want to slightly undercook these…they might even look underdone a bit. That’s perfect. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes, or until they come off easily.
• Grab us two martinis and let’s eat some chocolate marshmallow cookies.

Notes

Optional
If you wanna go for a Rocky Road vibe, add 1 cup of toasted + chopped walnuts to the mix.

Substitution
You can use regular mini marshmallows (although I highly recommend the dehydrated ones). If you use regular marshmallows let them sit out, ideally overnight, to dry out a bit.

On My Mind

• This stresses me out.
• This brings out the Gloria Steinem in me.
• I’m currently obsessing over these…and will be making them any minute. Could you die? *UPDATE* I made these!! I turned them into muffins, added chocolate chips and sea salt flakes…delicious! Here’s a photo of them.
• Of my Instagram people…are you guys on Instagram Stories? Are you loving it? Do you want to see more on it? Is anyone on Snapchat anymore?
• Both of my kids are FINALLY home from spending the summer with their dad. It was A) Not as hard as I thought it might be; B) Made me think I’m going to be fine when they go to college…I think; C) The time flew by; D) Now that they are both home the dishes situation is OUT OF CONTROL. I’m already over it.
• Who else believes that schools shouldn’t start until after Labor Day?! Anyone?
• THIS TIME LAST YEAR:  Chocolate + Espresso Birthday Cake and Ricotta Salata, Baby Spinach, Charred Corn Buttermilk Pasta Salad (you’ll die).

But in the meantime, go take a looksie at her site…especially that Lemon Coconut Oil Cake. I die.

• Sending you all lots of love + peace.
