Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened butter (or margarine)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (125 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows
  • Topping: a few more Lucky Charms marshmallows and flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until lightened in color and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally for even mixing.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium-high speed until each is fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix on medium until combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, and all-purpose flour.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mix until just barely combined, allowing a few streaks of flour to remain.
  6. Add White Chocolate and Marshmallows: Fold in white chocolate chunks and Lucky Charms marshmallows gently on low speed until evenly distributed. Use a spatula to ensure even mixing.
  7. Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using your hands, scoop about 60-75 grams of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten the tops gently if you prefer flat cookies. Add a few extra Lucky Charms marshmallows on top for decoration.
  8. Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center when removed. Check a test cookie to determine your preferred baking time.
  9. Add Topping and Cool: Immediately after baking, sprinkle flaky salt over the cookies so it sticks. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Store: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage up to several months.
  11. Tip: If cookies aren’t flattening as desired towards the end of baking, gently press them with a solid metal flipper.

Notes

  • Separating Lucky Charms marshmallows by hand ensures better cookie texture and flavor.
  • Use white chocolate chunks or wafers for better melting and texture distribution.
  • Flaky salt on top balances sweetness and enhances flavor complexity.
  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
  • Store in airtight containers to maintain crisp edges and chewy centers.
