Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 pieces mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Scoop out 1½-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place a mini marshmallow in the center. Wrap the dough around the marshmallow completely, ensuring it is fully encased, and then roll the dough back into a smooth ball.
Step 8
Place the prepared dough balls on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your Christmas Surprise Cookies with family and friends!
