Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus more, to taste
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/2 cup almonds, sliced, broken into smaller pieces, plus more, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line an 18x26-inch baking sheet with a silicone mat.
Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the flour, the cocoa powder, the baking soda, the salt, and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Step 4 -In a separate large bowl, add the butter, the granulated sugar, and the brown sugar and using an electric hand mixer on low speed, beat to combine.
Step 5 -Add the egg and the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat to combine.
Step 6 -Gently add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, either by hand or using the electric hand mixer, and mix until just combined.
Step 7 -In a single layer about 3 inches apart, use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, working in batches if needed.
Step 8 -Gently press the mini marshmallows, the extra almond pieces, and the extra chocolate chips into the exteriors of each of the dough balls. Note: If you're working in batches, be sure to reserve some of the toppings any remaining batches.
Step 9 -Bake until just set, about 10-13 minutes.
Step 10 -Transfer the baking sheet from the oven to a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the pan, about 10 minutes.
Step 11 -Transfer the cooled cookies directly onto the wire rack and let them cool completely.
Step 12 -Continue this process until all of the cookies are baked and cooled.
Step 13 -Serve.
