Ingredients:
- 1 cup Nutella (Adds rich chocolate flavor and moisture)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Provides richness and helps achieve a tender texture)

- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Enhances flavor)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Provides structural integrity)
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder (Contributes to the chocolate flavor and deep color)

- Fold in the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

FAQs
1. Can I use reduced-fat Nutella?
Yes, you can, but it may change the texture of the cookies slightly.
2. Can I substitute butter with oil?
Using oil is possible, but the cookies may not turn out as fluffy, so stick with butter if you can!
