Ingredients

1 (15.25-ounce) box Devil's Food cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
9 large marshmallows cut in half shortways
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for drizzle

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, oil, and eggs until a soft dough forms.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–9 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
Remove from the oven and immediately press a marshmallow half, cut side down, into the center of each cookie.
Return the cookies to the oven for 2–3 more minutes, just until the marshmallows puff slightly.
Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to keep the marshmallows and drizzle from sticking.
The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
If using a 13.25 ounce box of cake mix, reduce the oil to 1/3 cup.
