Ingredients
– 1 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup cake flour (can substitute with all-purpose flour)
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 2 cups mini marshmallows
– 3/4 cup cashews, roughly chopped (or almonds as a substitute)
Instructions
1-Gather and prepare all ingredients, including chopping cashews and measuring flours. Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
2-In a large bowl, cream the cold butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes until light and creamy.
3-Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix for 1 more minute.
4-Fold in the unsweetened cocoa powder, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
5-Next, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and cashews.
6-Roll the dough into large balls, each weighing 5 to 6 ounces, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For a better appearance, add a few extra semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top, pressing them lightly.
7-Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. After removing from the oven, gently press the melted marshmallows at the edges toward the center with a small spatula to shape the cookies. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them.

❄️ Use cold butter cubes and cream with sugar for smooth texture and better baking shape.
🍫 Select high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for best flavor.
⏳ Freeze mini marshmallows before adding to dough to minimize excessive melting.
🌰 Substitute almonds for cashews if preferred.
🔥 Baking at 410°F produces crispy edges with gooey centers; chill dough if cookies spread too much.
🧊 Prepare dough ahead and freeze; bake at 400°F adding 1-2 minutes to baking time.
