Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies Recipe
Introduction
Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl Cookies combine rich, fudgy chocolate dough with sweet, gooey marshmallow fluff for a delightful treat. These cookies are soft, chewy, and perfect for anyone who loves a little twist on a classic chocolate cookie.
Ingredients
- Chocolate cookie dough (enough for about 12 cookies)
- Marshmallow fluff, about 1 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Take a portion of the chocolate dough and flatten it slightly. Drop a spoonful of marshmallow fluff onto the dough, then gently swirl it into the dough using a skewer or the back of a spoon to create a marbled effect.
- Step 3: Place the swirled dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Step 4: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft and slightly gooey.
- Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top before baking.
- If you prefer a stronger marshmallow flavor, add a little more fluff and swirl gently but thoroughly.
- Try using white chocolate dough for a different flavor contrast with the marshmallow.
Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. Reheat gently in the microwave for 10 seconds if you want a warm, melty treat.

Ingredients
Chocolate Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Marshmallow Swirl
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Incorporate the Marshmallow Fluff: Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a small spoon, dollop marshmallow fluff onto each cookie mound. With a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the marshmallow into the dough to create a marbled effect, being careful not to mix completely.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. The marshmallow will become slightly golden and gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for best texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- Do not overmix the marshmallow swirl to preserve the distinct marbled look.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently before serving to soften marshmallow if desired.
