Cherry (or Raspberry) Chocolate Chunk and Marshmallow Cookies

Wow that title was a mouth full!!
I found this recipe on Picky Palate!  She originally used Cherry Sticks, but I was given Raspberry sticks at Christmas.  I thought, why not give this a try!  Picky Palate always has great recipes and I was up for the experiment.
The experiment was successful and they turned out really good!  I don't think I would go out and buy these sticks on purpose to make them all the time, but the raspberry and chocolate was really yummy together!

Cherry (or Raspberry) Chocolate Chunk and Marshmallow Cookies
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 30-40 cherry, raspberry sticks, chopped (one pkg)
  • 2 cups chocolate chunks or chips
  • 80 mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.

Place butter and sugars in your mixer and mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.  Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.

Slowly add your dry ingredients and mix well.  Add your chopped sticks, chocolate chunks and marshmallows.  Mix just until combined.

Place on your cookie sheet using a medium cookie scoop about 1 inch apart.  Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. 

As soon as the cookies come out of your oven, use a plastic knife to push the melted marshmallow back onto your cookie.  Let cool for 10 minutes and then place on your cooling rack!

Enjoy!
