Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (110g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 50g) mini marshmallows
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, scraping down the sides to incorporate.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed or fold in gently with a spatula until no dry flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in mini marshmallows and semisweet chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft. Marshmallows should puff slightly but not brown.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Use softened butter, not melted, for a tender crumb. Fold marshmallows gently to keep them soft and gooey. If marshmallows brown too quickly, tent the baking sheet with foil halfway through baking. Chill dough for 15 minutes if kitchen is warm to control spreading.
