Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 box chocolate cake mix The star of our show! It forms the chewy base of our cookies.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil Adds moisture and richness; can substitute with melted coconut oil.
- 2 large eggs These help bind everything together and give the cookies a fluffy texture.
Fillings
- 1 cup mini marshmallows Create sweet, gooey pockets of marshmallow in each cookie.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips More chocolate means more happiness! Dark chocolate can be used for a richer flavor.
Toppings
- 1 cup marshmallow frosting The topping that takes these cookies from good to spectacular!
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache Adds a glossy shine and silky texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until set but still soft.
Finishing Touches
- Let the cookies cool completely, then add marshmallow frosting and drizzle with chocolate ganache.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and fluffiness. Don't overbake; cookies firm up after baking. Chill the dough for thicker cookies if preferred. Experiment with different cake mixes for varied flavors.
