Instructions

Begin by preparing marshmallow swirl mixture for optimal texture and flavor.

Combine marshmallow fluff with melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and milk to create spreadable swirl consistency.

Set marshmallow mixture aside while preparing cookie dough base.

Cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and almond extracts.

Mix in sour cream and corn syrup for extra moisture and chewiness.

In separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder together.

Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch to dry ingredients.

Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in softened cream cheese for extra richness and fudgy texture.

Add semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks to dough.

Mix in half of the mini marshmallows, reserving rest for topping.

Chill cookie dough for 15 minutes for easier handling and shaping.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment.

Using cookie scoop, portion dough into uniform rounds on prepared sheets.

Space cookies 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

Create small well in center of each cookie with back of spoon.

Fill wells with prepared marshmallow swirl mixture generously.

Use offset spatula or toothpick to create decorative swirl patterns.

Top each cookie with reserved mini marshmallows and extra chocolate chips.

Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.

Marshmallows should be lightly golden and puffed when properly baked.

Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring carefully.

Transfer to wire racks and cool completely before adding final touches.

Prepare chocolate drizzle by melting chocolate with cream and butter.

Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies in decorative patterns.

Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and sea salt flakes if desired.

Let chocolate drizzle set for 15 minutes before serving or storing.

Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
