Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling cookies)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Marshmallow Filling
In a small bowl, add marshmallow creme and set it aside for later use.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Step 4: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 5: Add the Molasses and Egg
Mix in the molasses and egg, ensuring everything is well combined.
Step 6: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 7: Form the Cookies
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and flatten slightly. Place about a teaspoon of marshmallow filling in the center, then wrap the dough around the filling, forming a ball.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t Overmix
Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough after adding the dry ingredients; this helps maintain a soft texture.
Storage Tips
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
