Ingredients

  • 1 cup room temperature unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Marshmallow Frosting

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Mix in eggs, one at a time and add vanilla.
  • In small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients, in two batches, to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until completely incorporated.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough onto parchment paper, the cookies will spread so place them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in 350°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
  • Set aside, to completely cool before topping with the marshmallow frosting.

Marshmallow Frosting

  • For the frosting, you will need to create a double boiler. A double boiler is simply a saucepan with an inch of simmering water, with a heat proof mixing bowl placed on top of the saucepan. This will cook the egg whites gently, without scrambling the egg whites.
  • Whisk together egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heat proof mixing bowl and place over a sauce pan of simmering water...whisk constantly to dissolve the sugar, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, pour egg whites into electric mixer and beat with whisk attachment until soft peaks form...about 5-7 minutes.
    Whisk in vanilla and salt.
  • Use an offset spatula to spread the marshmallow frosting onto the cookies. Alternately, add the marshmallow frosting to a piping bag and pipe the frosting onto the cookies.
  • Turn the oven broiler on and place frosted cookies onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Place cookies under the broiler to toast the marshmallow...this will take seconds...don't even close the door and certainly don't walk away.
  • Let the cookies cool and enjoy.
