Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue beating until smooth and fluffy.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the layer.
- Layer the remaining cookie dough on top of the marshmallows.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Chill your dough slightly if it's too sticky. You can add more chocolate chips if desired. Topping with a sprinkle of sea salt before baking adds a nice contrast. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
