• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir until just mixed.
6. Fold in Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows to the cookie dough.

Top Tips for Perfecting Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies with Fudgy Centers

• Substitutions: If you’re out of unsalted butter, feel free to use coconut oil or a halal margarine for a similar flavor and texture.
• Timing: Make sure not to overbake the cookies. They will continue to firm up while cooling, so a slightly soft center is totally fine!
• Avoiding Common Mistakes: Ensure your butters are softened properly, and don’t skip the resting time. Chilling the dough for 15-30 minutes can improve the flavor and texture!

Storing and Reheating Tips

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, they freeze beautifully! Just place them in a freezer bag with parchment paper in between layers to avoid sticking. To reheat and enjoy that fresh-baked taste again, pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. You can also warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes—perfect for getting that gooey center back!
