Ingredients

  • 4 ½ cups 562.5 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 118 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup 2 sticks / 227 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups 250 g granulated sugar, plus extra for pressing the dough
  • ¾ cup 94 g confectioners' sugar
  • ¾ cup 163.5 g vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces 4 ounces each semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, broken into 32 pieces
  • 16 regular marshmallows cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and confectioners’ sugar. Mix just until incorporated.
  • Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, followed by the eggs, water, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar until evenly distributed.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, allowing the mixer to incorporate them fully. Continue mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, forming a cohesive mass.
  • Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, portion out the dough into golf-ball-sized rounds and place them on the lined baking sheet. Roll each dough ball between your palms to create a smooth, even shape.
  • Press the bottom of a clean kitchen glass into granulated sugar, then gently flatten each dough ball, ensuring the center is slightly more compressed than the edges. Repeat for all cookies.
  • Bake for 7 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven. They will still be slightly underbaked at this stage, as they will undergo additional broiling.
  • Carefully press a piece of semi-sweet chocolate onto the center of each cookie, then top with half of a marshmallow.
  • Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent the marshmallows from browning too much.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The chocolate will remain slightly melted, creating a rich, gooey texture with every bite.
