Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies Recipe
Introduction
Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies combine rich chocolate and gooey marshmallows in a beautifully swirled treat. These cookies offer a delightful balance of sweet and chewy textures, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Cookie dough (enough for 24 cookies)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate, chopped or chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your favorite cookie dough and divide it into two portions. Gently fold chopped chocolate into one portion and mini marshmallows into the other.
- Step 2: Take small amounts of each dough and lightly swirl them together to create a marbled effect. Place the swirled dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 3: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Step 4: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or white chocolate for a sweeter twist.
- Try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate taste.
- For a chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep marshmallows soft, avoid refrigerating. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a warm treat.

FAQs
Can I use store-bought cookie dough?
Yes, store-bought dough works well and can save time. Just make sure to swirl in the chocolate and marshmallows before baking.
What if marshmallows melt and spread too much?
Using mini marshmallows helps them hold shape better. Also, swirling gently and not overmixing the dough will prevent marshmallows from melting excessively.

Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Fillings
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then gradually blend in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Add Fillings: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips into the cookie dough to create a swirl effect, being careful not to overmix so that the marshmallows remain intact.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra gooey marshmallows, add them fresh just before baking rather than mixing them too much into the dough.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate chunks for a richer texture.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
