Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

1 large egg, 1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Stir in chocolate chunks and marshmallow bits.
12 ounce package semisweet chocolate chunks, 1 cup marshmallow bits3
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to give the ingredients a chance to meld.
Using a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoon), drop scoops of dough 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for about 8-12 minutes. The cookies should look set at the edges and slightly underdone in the center. Slightly underbaking the cookies will help them to stay soft.
Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to finish cooling.

Properly measuring flour makes a huge difference! To properly measure the flour, sift the flour to break it up. Lightly spoon it into the measuring cup and level.
Marshmallow bits are freeze-dried marshmallow pieces. They are usually sold next to the regular marshmallows.
