Course Dessert
Servings 22 cookies

Ingredients
  

Fudge filling

  • 1 ⅓ cup (227g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (319g) sweetened condensed milk
  • cup (74g) chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

Cookies

  • 2 ⅛ cups (287g) all purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened Dutch Process cocoa powder, sifted preferably dark
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 22-24 *s'mores marshmallows or jumbo marshmallows I used Kraft Jet-Puffed S'moreMallows

Instructions
 

Fudge filling

  • Melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together in a double boiler or in the microwave in a medium-sized microwave safe bowl.
  • Stir in the chopped nuts. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350º (180ºC). Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed, until pale and fluffy. Mix in the eggs and the vanilla in 3 separate additions, making sure each addition is incorporated before adding the next. On low speed, mix in the flour mixture in 2 additions, just until combined.
  • Roll the fudge filling into tablespoon-sized balls.
  • Roll the cookie dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls then flatten them into disks. Place a ball of fudge filling in the middle of each disk. Wrap the cookie dough around the ball of filling, sealing it completely.
  • Place the cookies about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the tops of the cookies are set, about 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Turn on the broiler. Place a marshmallow on top of each cookie.
  • Broil the cookies until the marshmallows are toasted. This takes about 1 minute. CAUTION: Watch the cookies carefully when broiling. They can go from done to burnt in the blink of an eye!

Notes

*I used Kraft Jet-Puffed S'moreMallows, but if you're unable to find them, use jumbo marshmallows. Cut them in half lengthwise with kitchen shears. Place on cookies cut side down.
**To melt fudge filling in microwave, heat for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for 10 second intervals, stirring until melted.
