Method
 

Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
Wet Ingredients & Mix-Ins
  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; beat on medium-low until combined.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low; gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  4. Stir in 2 cups mini marshmallows and 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips.
  5. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion dough 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 9–10 minutes, until the tops are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
