Marshmallow Brownie Cookies are a hot cocoa dream! These chocolate cookies are rich, moist, and fudgy like a brownie. The chewiness pairs perfectly with sweet and fluffy mini marshmallows. The cookie is finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra decadence! Try these cookies for a Christmas cookie recipe exchange, neighbor gifting, party treats, or just to enjoy a luxurious cookie dessert.Â
I know you want one. Do you ever feel like chocolate chip cookies just don’t have enough chocolate? When I first began to create the recipe for this chewy cookie I started with a chocolate cookie dough made from scratch. I was not too fond of the taste the cocoa powder left behind, or something. So, after 2 previous failed attempts at the perfect chocolate cookie (and lots of cookie dough tossed in the trash),  I now have the perfect chocolate cookie with perfect chocolate flavor.
Marshmallow Brownie Cookies
This recipe starts with a brownie mix and they are amazing, to say the least!  If you like chocolate or brownies you will love this cookie (and I mean come on who doesn’t like chocolate and brownies? It even reminds me of those amazing chocolate-covered marshmallows that I love.  This recipe is a must-try!  These cookies are luxurious!
Ingredients for Marshmallow Brownie Cookies
- Boxed brownie mix
- All-purpose flour
- Light brown sugar
- Salt
- Eggs
- Milk
- Unsalted butter
- Mini marshmallows
- Semisweet chocolate chips
As always, my instructions are to carefully whisk dry ingredients together to be sure all ingredients are distributed evenly. (Too much baking soda in some of the cookies mean uneven rising and baking.)
Use a paddle attachment in the bowl of a stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar, mixing wet ingredients before you slowly incorporate dry ingredients. I always use a cookie scoop to get evenly sized-cookie dough balls, then place them on parchment paper or a silicone mat on the baking sheet. You can chill your dough for easier shaping, too.
Chocolate Cookie Remixes
You know I can never leave a recipe alone! Every recipe also includes my dreams and visions for ways to remix it for different flavor profiles and seasons. There are a few ideas I had for trying this cookie in new ways. If you love a rich, dark chocolate taste, you can add a tiny bit more Dutch-processed cocoa powder (dutch-process may not be carried at your local grocery store, but is usually at a more fancy grocery store in your area). Natural cocoa powder works too, but isn’t quite as deep. You can also add dark chocolate chunks for part of the chocolate chips in your ingredients.
If you’re looking for a creamier cookie, try a chocolate frosting or marshmallow fluff on your brownie cookies—or try sandwiching them!

Ingredients
- 1 (18.3 oz) pkg brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a cookie sheet and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brownie mix, flour, brown sugar and salt. Add in eggs and milk and stir with a large spoon. Add in melted butter and vanilla and stir until well blended.Â
- Spoon dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet (you can fit 12 per sheet). Bake for 9 minutes and remove from oven and top each cookie with about 6 - 7 marshmallows (you may have to push down on the marshmallows slightly to keep them from rolling off).Â
- Move oven rack near the top of the oven and return cookies to oven to bake 2 more minutes until marshmallows soften. Remove from oven and set cookies aside. In a small microwave safe mixing bowl combine chocolate chips, butter and water.Â
- Microwave chocolate on 50% in 30 intervals stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. Pour mixture into a small ziploc bag. Cut a small tip off the end and drizzle over marshmallow brownies cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container.
