Jessica's Marshmallow Clouds



These are some of my favorite cookies! They are so fun to make and taste yummy!

Makes - 3 ½ dozen cookies

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (12 ounce) cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces miniature marshmallows, frozen

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2 Until you are ready to assemble the cookies just prior to baking, keep the marshmallows in the freezer- otherwise they will thaw too rapidly.
3 Place the marshmallows back into the freezer between each batch of cookies.
4 In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda.
5 Set aside.
6 Combine sugars in a large bowl.
7 Using an electric mixer, blend in butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
8 Add eggs and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
9 Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at a low speed until combined.
10 Batter will be very stiff.
11 Gather 4-5 frozen marshmallows in the palm of your hand and cover them with a heaping tablespoon of dough.
12 Wrap the dough around the marshmallows, completely encasing them and forming a 2-inch diameter ball.
13 Place balls on ungreased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
14 Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
15 Cool on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to a cool flat surface.
