Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and beat until well combined, about 1 minute.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in the mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the dough onto baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked. Add extra marshmallows halfway through baking.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to wire racks. Drizzle with chocolate ganache after slight cooling.
  9. Serve warm with a glass of milk or hot chocolate.
