Coconut Marshmallow Cookies
My son wanted chocolate chip cookies, and I didn't want to just do the standard cookie! I don't bake a ton but when I do, I try to challenge myself! These coconut marshmallow cookies were amazing! You really get that coconut flavor, of course the classic chocolate chip, and the gooey marshmallow inside - just WOW! Plus, using the coconut oil helps to keep it a little healthier! These were chewy, chocolatey, and kinda fruity! YUM! Almost like smores meets Girl Scout Cookie!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 6 tbsp salted butter softened
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¾ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 ℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, coconut oil, sugars, vanilla, and baking soda. Use the back of a spoon to push all the ingredients together against the sides of the bowl
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk flour and coconut flakes until combined. Then whisk in the egg
- Combine both bowls into the larger bowl, and using the back of your spoon, cream everything together until it forms a dough
- When mixture seems dough-ish, use your hands to push it together into a large mound in the middle of the bowl. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes so the dough is easier to work with.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and using your hands, incorporate the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Squeeze and squish it together, then roll into 12 balls slightly larger than a golf ball
- Place on baking sheet about an inch apart from each other and bake for 9-11 minutes
- Cookies are done when the tops are golden brown, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean
- Let coconut marshmallow cookies cool for about 5 minutes, carefully remove from pan, and cool completely on a cooling rack
