Instructions

01
Prepare for baking: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
02
Make marshmallow swirl: In a medium bowl, beat together marshmallow cream, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth and pipeable. Add food coloring if desired. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-lock bag with corner cut off.
03
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
04
Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
05
Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract. Mix in melted chocolate and sour cream until well combined.
06
Combine wet and dry: Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Don't overmix. Fold in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
07
Shape and swirl: Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Pipe marshmallow mixture on top of each cookie and use a knife to create swirl patterns.
08
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone. Don't overbake - cookies will continue cooking on the hot pan.
09
Cool and finish: Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar if desired.
10
Final touches: Once completely cool, drizzle with melted chocolate or add extra marshmallow decorations as desired. Store in airtight container.
