Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
• 24 marshmallows (mini or halved large ones)
• 6 ounces green candy melts or green frosting
• 2 tablespoons sprinkles (stars, silver balls, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven. While they are still warm, gently press a marshmallow into the center of each cookie.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions, or prepare green frosting if using that.

Step 12

Spoon or drizzle a small amount of melted candy or frosting over each marshmallow to make it look like a 'bubbling cauldron.'

Step 13

Decorate with sprinkles to mimic magic sparks or potion bubbles.

Step 14

Let the decorations set for 10 minutes before serving.
