These giant Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies are stuffed with delicious marshmallow fluff! They are chewy, gooey in the center, and crisp around the edges, there is nothing more indulgent!

Oh and did I mention, they require no chill time, won’t spread, are quick and easy to make, and NOT messy like other recipes.

Marshmallow Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

I absolutely love marshmallow in desserts, don’t you?! It is so creamy, sweet, sticky, and delicious! So naturally, these cookies were born out of necessity. Everyone needs them in their life!

Why You Will Love These Cookies:

  1. They are GIANT bakery style cookies stuffed with gooey, sweet, marshmallow fluff. SO GOOD!
  2. No chill, no spread cookie recipe. It is seriously food proof. Plus there is nothing worse than an unsuccessful cookie.
  3. Not super messy like other recipes because we freeze the fluff and then form a chocolate chip cookie around it.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

  • Unsalted Butter: melting the butter gives your cookies a chewier and crispier texture which is needed in these marshmallow filled cookies.
  • Brown Sugar: I like using dark brown sugar for more depth of flavor.
  • Egg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Corn Starch: this is what keeps your cookies from spreading as they bake.
  • Salt
  • Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Marshmallow Fluff: freezing the fluff will harden it but not completely, which is enough so we can easily form the cookies (it cuts down on the mess too).
  • Flaked Kosher Salt: this goes on top of the cookies before they are baked. It adds a wonderful saltiness that cuts through the sweet of this cookie.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

Combine the wet ingredients. In a large bowl whisk together your melted butter and brown sugar. Then add the egg and vanilla extract. You will want to whisk this mixture for two to three minutes or until it has lightened in color.

Fold in the dry ingredients to make a dough. Next pour in your all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Fold it together until almost all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Add in your chocolate chips and fold that together until your cookie dough is fully mixed.

Construct the Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies. Flatten a two tablespoon scoop of the cookie dough so it is a round, thin, and flat disk. Scoop one tablespoon of frozen marshmallow fluff and place it in the center of your cookie disk. Flatten another two tablespoon scoop of cookie dough and place it on top of your marshmallow fluff cookie disks. Press and fuse the cookie together.

Bake the cookies. Sprinkle flaked Kosher salt on top of the cookies. Bake them in your oven at 350° F for eight to ten minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and edges.

Cool your cookies on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack (if you move them too soon they can fall apart). Allow them to cool to room temperature and devour!

4 Pro Tips for the BEST Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies

  1. Shape the cookies how you want them to look. Remember, these cookies do not change shape or spread so you will want to make sure they are formed in a proper cookie shape prior to baking.
  2. You may need two cookie sheets to bake your cookies. I use a very large cookie sheet and only need one.These cookies do not spread but I still like to keep two inch spaces between them when they bake. Use your best judgement.
  3. Make these smaller by cutting the measurements in half. Use 1 tablespoons of dough for the bottom layer, 1/2 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff, 1 tablespoon of dough for the top layer. You will get around 12 cookies this way.
  4. Try them they next day out of the refrigerator cold! That is when I personally think they are the best because the marshmallow has had time to meld with the cookie dough.

Freezing and Baking Cookies For Later

These Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies can be fully assembled and frozen to be baked at a later date. All you have to do is place them on a baking sheet, throw them into the freezer until they are frozen, and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months.

When you are ready to bake the cookies, place them frozen on a prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350° F for ten to fifteen minutes until golden brown. Keep in mind it does take a few minutes longer to bake because they are cold.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies

Can I use marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?

I do not recommend using marshmallows in this recipe. Marshmallows do not melt and bake the same or have the right consistency for this recipe. If you have marshmallows and corn syrup you can make your own marshmallow fluff. All you need to do is melt one cup if marshmallows and a half a tablespoon of corn syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Why did my marshmallow fluff seep out of the cookie?

This is most likely because your cookie was not well formed. If there are cracks, even little ones, in your dough it will seep out of them.

The marshmallow fluff is too sticky to handle, what do I do?

Easy! Pop it back in the freezer until it is no longer tacky to the touch. It tends to warm up quickly so you really have to work fast.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

YES! If you do not want giant bakery style cookies like mine, simply make everything smaller as you form them to get 12 instead of 6. I make mine smaller when I take them to parties.

  1. These didn’t come out for me. Dough was very dry and cookies tasted dry. I used gluten free flour so maybe that is it? It’s1:1 ratio though so 🤷‍♀️

    • Hi Abby,
      Sorry to hear that these cookies were unsuccessful for you. Baked goods can be finicky. If the cookies were dry this could be for a few reasons (I do not think gluten free flour is the culprit here):
      One, too much flour was used. This can happen from directly scooping flour from the bag instead of using the fluff, scoop, and level method.
      Two, the cookies were overbaked. Baking them too long will definitely dry them out.
      Three, the baking soda was old. This will affect the overall texture of the cookie.
      Four, they were stored uncovered or in a dry area. Always store cool cookies in an airtight container.
      Thank you for the thoughtful feedback.
      ~Elizabeth
