Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 whole large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans, if using, then scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use roughly 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press 4-5 mini marshmallows into the top of each cookie.

Step 8

Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly puffed and melted. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the chocolate glaze, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
