    Ingredients

    • 1 cup butter

    • 1.25 cups sugar

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 tsp baking soda

    • 0.5 tsp salt

    • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 1.5 cups mini marshmallows

    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for non-stick baking.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a mixer for optimal consistency.
    • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract until just combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until evenly mixed.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms without visible flour streaks.
    • Fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
    • Drop tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set and edges are firm.
    • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Krispy Kreme Just Dropped a Latin American Dessert Collection — Three New Doughnuts Available Now

    Krispy Kreme’s filled doughnuts are more indulgent than the classic Original Glazed, but the Destination Dessert Collection offers a genuinely interesting cultural experience worth savoring slowly rather than rushing through. Ordering one to share — splitting a Guava Cheesecake or Tres Leches doughnut between two people — lets you taste the flavor without the full calorie commitment of a whole doughnut each. It’s also worth pairing with a plain black coffee rather than a sweet beverage, since the richness of the filled doughnuts stands out more clearly without competing sweetness from your drink.

    Taco Cupcakes

    Using wonton wrappers rather than deep-fried taco shells significantly reduces the added fat in this recipe while still producing a satisfying, crispy shell. Using lean ground beef and a modest amount of cheddar per cup keeps each serving protein-rich and portion-friendly—making it easy to enjoy several without overindulging.
