Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
   • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
   • Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed and any clumps are removed.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the butter and sugar mixture, stirring on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain a soft and chewy texture in the cookies.
5. Add the Chocolate Chips:
   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
6. Incorporate the Marshmallow Fluff:
   • Take 1/4 of the marshmallow fluff and fold it into the dough, but only once or twice to create a marbled effect. This will give the cookies a nice swirl of marshmallow in every bite.
7. Scoop the Dough:
   • Use a large cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out 1-inch balls of cookie dough. Make sure to include some marshmallow fluff in each scoop for a perfect balance of chocolate and marshmallow. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8. Repeat the Marshmallow Process:
   • As you continue scooping the dough, add marshmallow fluff in small increments to keep the marbled effect consistent. This ensures each cookie has a nice swirl of marshmallow goodness.
9. Bake the Cookies:
   • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, keeping a close eye on them. The edges should be set, while the centers remain slightly soft. This will give the cookies a chewy texture.
10. Cool and Serve:
    • Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. The marshmallow will be gooey and the chocolate chips melty—perfect for enjoying warm!

Tips for Success:

• Espresso Powder: Adding espresso powder enhances the depth of the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee. It’s a small but powerful ingredient that makes a big difference!
• Marshmallow Swirl: For the best results, fold the marshmallow fluff in gently and only a few times to keep that beautiful marbled effect. You want visible streaks of marshmallow in each cookie.
• Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze the dough to bake later for a freshly baked treat anytime.
