Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking these delectable treats to perfection.
-
Prepare marshmallows: Keep the miniature marshmallows in the freezer until you’re ready to assemble the cookies. This ensures they remain frozen, preventing them from thawing too quickly during the baking process.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa, and baking soda until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
-
Mix sugars and butter: In a separate large bowl, combine the white sugar and light brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, blend in the salted butter until smooth and creamy, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
-
Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar and butter mixture, then beat at medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, infusing the dough with delicious flavor and texture.
-
Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients, blending at a low speed until everything is well combined. The resulting batter will be quite stiff, setting the stage for the delightful marshmallow surprise to come.
-
Wrap marshmallows: Take 4-5 frozen marshmallows and place them in the palm of your hand. Cover them generously with a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, ensuring the marshmallows are completely encased within the dough, forming a 2-inch diameter ball.
-
Arrange on baking sheets: Carefully place the dough balls on ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake to perfection: Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown and puffed up with marshmallow goodness.
-
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cool, flat surface. Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible combination of soft cookie dough and gooey marshmallow centers, savoring each delightful bite of Jessica’s Marshmallow Clouds.
These cookies are bound to become a household favorite, enchanting all who have the pleasure of tasting them with their whimsical charm and irresistible flavor. Whether you’re baking them for a special occasion or simply craving a sweet treat to brighten your day, Jessica’s Marshmallow Clouds are sure to elevate any moment with their heavenly presence! 🌟
