Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup white sugar plus 1/4 cup for rolling
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp flour
  • 30 peppermint marshmallows 1/2" to 3/4" cubes or half a regular marshmallow

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together.  Add egg and vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
  3. Add dry ingredients (cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, flour).  Mix until just blended.
  4. Scoop dough into 1 tablespoon portions.  I love using my size 70 scoop.
  5. Flatten dough into a circle.  Place marshmallow in center and form dough around marshmallow.  Make sure marshmallow is fully sealed or it will ooze out when baked.
  6. Roll in sugar and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat (up to 15 per sheet).
  7. Bake for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes.  Do not overbake or marshmallow will melt or ooze out of cookie.  Let cool and enjoy.

Notes

  1. If using homemade peppermint marshmallow recipe, you will only need about 1/3 of the batch.  Try dipping the rest of the marshmallows in chocolate... it's amazing!
  2. When baking the second batch, I lessen the time by about 15 seconds due to the baking sheet already being hot.
