Hot Cocoa Cookies

Hot cocoa is warm and comforting on a cold winter day.  One of my favorite ways to relax in the cold months.  There's nothing really more soothing than wrapping yourself in a cuddly blanket and sipping on a big hot mug of hot cocoa.  Until now!

These Hot Cocoa Cookies replicate that delightful taste and feeling of a warm cup of hot cocoa on a chilly day.  Warm, gooey, and rich chocolate cookies made with hot cocoa mix and filled and topped with toasted, gooey, and sticky marshmallows. Heaven on a baking sheet.
