Colossal Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

Steps:

• Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Whisk together to ensure they are well combined. Use the paddle attachment on a stand mixer to cream together butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the egg. Once the egg is incorporated into the mixture, add the vanilla. Continue with the mixer speed on low and add the flour mixture. Stop the mixer once the cookie dough just comes together. To assemble the cookies, line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and use this as your work area. Divide the cookie dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, and use the palms of your hands to flatten each ball into a circle 5 inches in diameter. Place ⅓ cup of mini marshmallows in the centers of 2 of the flattened cookie circles and top with the remaining 2 cookie circles. Use your fingers to pinch together the top and bottom edges of the cookie, and then smooth out the sides for a seamless finish. Cover the cookies with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, and gently press them onto the cookie to set it in place. Put the tray with the cookies in the freezer for the dough to rest for at least 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake one cookie at a time for 22 to 26 minutes. Once the cookie is out from the oven, allow it to cool on the baking tray for about 15 minutes prior to moving it to the cooling rack, otherwise it could easily break apart—especially with the soft marshmallow center. If you have a kitchen torch, add a little smoky campfire touch to the marshmallows on top by torching them a little bit.
