- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Softened; margarine or coconut oil are great alternatives)
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (Can use coconut sugar for a healthier twist)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Honey or maple syrup can be used but will alter texture)
- 1 large Egg (Substitute with a flax egg for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Opt for pure extract for best quality)

- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows if using.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
