* This recipe slightly modified from the original as noted.

Preheat oven to 325°F (was 400°F).

(was: Until you are ready to assemble the cookies just prior to
baking, keep the marshmallows in the freezer--otherwise they will
thaw too rapidly)

(changed to: Use fresh marshmallows only).

In medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Set aside.

Combine sugars in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend in
butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla,
and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at low speed
until combined. Batter will be very stiff.

Gather 4 to 5 (was: frozen) marshmallows in the palm of your hand and
cover them with a heaping 1 tb of dough. Wrap the dough around the
marshmallows, completely encasing them and forming a 2"-diameter
dough ball.

Place balls on ungreased baking sheets, 2" apart. Bake 15 minutes
(was 20 to 22 minutes). Cool on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to a
cool, flat surface.
