Big, chewy, soft chocolate cookies packed with marshmallows and chocolate chips. Once you've tried these, you'll agree they're the ultimate marshmallow cookie!
Making these cookies is an absolute breeze. First, you'll beat butter, sugar, vanilla and golden syrup together, then beat in an egg.
Next, you'll fold in flour and cocoa before stirring generous handfuls of chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the mix. Finally, you'll scoop onto lined baking sheets and bake. SO easy!
The cookies smell absolutely incredible when they're baking in the oven. As the cookie dough spreads, you can see it turning impossibly gooey before your eyes, and it's a challenge to find the patience to let them firm up enough to lift them from the tray.
When you bite into a marshmallow cookie, it'll tick off every box for what a great cookie should be. It's crisp at the edges, gooey and chewy in the middle, and packed with chocolate flavour. They're simply wonderful.
