Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ube extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your dough.
- Add eggs and extracts: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the ube extract and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, giving the dough its distinctive flavor and moisture.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a cohesive cookie dough forms.
- Fold in marshmallows: Carefully fold the mini marshmallows into the dough using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing to prevent melting.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheet: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set and lightly golden while the centers remain puffed and soft.
- Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- For best results, use fresh mini marshmallows to avoid browning too much during baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- The ube extract provides both flavor and a subtle purple color to the cookies; adjust amount based on desired intensity.
