Ingredients:

• 125 g unsalted butter, softened
• 1 + 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1/2 teaspoon sifted baking powder
• 100g dark chocolate chips
• 100g milk chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup oatmeal
• Additional dark chocolate pieces (for garnish)
• Marshmallows (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven at 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy and light. Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing well until completely incorporated.
3. Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sifted flour and baking powder. Gradually add it to the creamed butter mixture until everything is well combined.
4. Add the oatmeal and chocolate: Stir in the oats, dark chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Shape the cookies: Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly and press a few pieces of dark chocolate and a marshmallow on top of each cookie.
6. Cook: Place in the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the marshmallows are lightly browned.
7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
