Chocolate’s Bison Cookies
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda (bicarb soda)
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup mini marshmallows
Directions
Make sure the butter is melted and set aside to cool a bit.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugars to the butter and whisk (using a balloon whisk) until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
Add the flour then fold it in with a spatula until just combined.
Let the dough sit for 10 minutes before proceeding (this makes it easier to handle and helps the cookies keep their shape).
Take roughly 2 tablespoons of the dough, roll it into a ball (or use a cookie scoop) then make a dent in the center. Add 6 mini marshmallows to the middle then carefully pinch in the edges to cover completely.
Lightly roll the cookie ball between your hands to make it round and place it on a baking tray, keeping them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-10 minutes.
Optional but recommended: As soon as you take the trays out of the oven, use a round cookie cutter, just slightly larger than the cookie, and swirl it around the cookie. This will make them perfectly round and also thicken them slightly.
Allow them to cool on the trays for 10-15 minutes until you can move them to a wire rack without them breaking, to cool completely. Once cool, they will firm up.
