kcalIngredients
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and forming a dough.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and centers are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
