• 2⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup salted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs

Oh my, these are a treat. I don't know how big the cookies are that are specified in the recipe, but I made half of this recipe and ended up with 13 very large cookies (using the 4 mini marshmallows in the center). I don't see how you could make them much smaller while still sufficiently covering all of the marshmallows. These are a chocolately, gooey treat! 5 stars!! Cooked for 10 minutes, followed recipe exactly, came out great!

Amazing! I used Earth Balance Buttery Sticks in place of butter, half a large marshmallow per cookie and dark brown sugar instead of light.

We forgot to freeze the marshmallows beforehand, but the cookies still turned out really well and taste delicious :) We also added orange essence to part of the dough which also tasted really nice.

I have made these cookies several times and they are delicious. The key to getting these to come out with a nice marshmallow center is to keep the marshmallows frozen for as long as possible before encasing them in the dough. I will only take a small amount of marshmallows out of the freezer at the time.
