Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and mix until smooth.
Add in the coffee or milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Note that the mixture may look a bit separated here, it's okay.
Measure in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts.
With a large cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet approximately 2 inches apart. Place a few additional mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set and the center will appear slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them to a wire rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
