Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • ½ cup (113g) butter, softened

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg, room temperature

  • 1 egg yolk, room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

  • ½ cup (40g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup lucky charms marshmallows

Instructions

For the Cookies:

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and mix on medium speed for 20 seconds, then add the egg yolk and mix until combined.

  4. Mix in the vanilla extract on low speed until fully incorporated.

  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. Add in the Lucky Charms Marshmallows

  6. Scoop & Bake: Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to form 12 evenly sized cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets and gently flatten them to just over ½ inch in thickness.

  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center—they will firm up as they cool.

  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes:

  1. Pro Tip: For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet. Enjoy warm with a glass of milk!

  2. Enhance the Caramel Flavor: Sprinkle a small amount of flaky sea salt on top of the frosted cookies for a delicious sweet-salty contrast.

  3. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." – 1 Peter 5:7
