Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:8 minutes
Total Time:23 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered milk
  • 1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 12 large marshmallows cut in thirds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and 2/3 cup sugar at medium speed until fluffy. Add egg, beating until incorporated.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, powdered milk, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, and again beat well until combined. Add in vanilla.
  • In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1/3 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, and then roll into sugar mixture. Place on prepared pans, spacing 2 inches apart. bake until cookies are set, approximately 8 minutes. Use this time to cut your marshmallows into thirds. Once your cookies come out, work quickly and press 1 marshmallow third into each cookie, cut side down. Eat the middle of the marshmallow since it will have two cut sides.
  • Set oven to broil. Watching carefully, broil until marshmallows are lightly toasted. Remove from oven and let cool.

Notes
