A recipe for chocolate marshmallow cookies by MyPersonaliTea

Jump to recipe

I love this recipe book that my mother gave me ages ago.  It’s a book full of chocolate chip cookie recipes.  The book is a compilation of all these chocolate chip cookie recipes that were submitted for a contest to find the best chocolate chip cookie.  The winner of the competition is a very fudgy recipe that I use all the time and always get compliments on.  This recipe for a chocolate marshmallow cookies is a variation on that winning recipe.  The original recipe calls for adding in nuts, like walnuts or pecans.  Nuts are a great compliment to a chocolate chip cookie, but I didn’t have any.  I did have marshmallows so I added those it.  There are so many different things you can add to a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Perhaps that will be my next “12 days of….” Series, 12 variations on the traditional chocolate chip cookie.

I paired this plate of cookies with a black tea from Lemon Lilly.  Black Forest Chaga is the tea I paired with it.  I added a bit of milk to give it almost  a chocolate milk character only richer in flavour.  In general, I find cookies are paired well with a tea with a strong, rich flavour that you can dunk a cookie in, a good black,  chai, English Breakfast, nice rich black teas.  

Some other possible additions and modifications this recipe for chocolate marshmallow cookies could be,

  • Use white chocolate powder, chai powder instead of cocoa powder.
  • Instead of chocolate chips add in, Reese piece bits, mini M & M’s, butterscotch chips, chocolate chunks, Hershey kisses.
  • Try adding in shaved coconut, dried cranberries, crushed candy cane or mints as a substitute for the original nuts.

So many ways to modify the recipe and all just as good as the original.
