Hot Cocoa Cookies
Hot Cocoa Cookies replicate the delightful feeling of a warm cup of cocoa on a cold day, with warm and gooey chocolate cookies topped with a toasted marshmallow.
Servings 2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup about 4 envelopes milk chocolate hot cocoa mix
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 12 large marshmallows cut in half (I cut them in half height-wise so that they would still be circular)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix again.
- Combine flour, hot cocoa mix, baking soda, and baking powder and gradually mix into butter mixture. Stir until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- Chill dough for about one hour.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a greased cookie sheett, 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a 350° oven for 5 minutes. Remove cookies and press half of a large marshmallow onto each cookie. Continue baking for another 4-6 minutes, until edges are set. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet onto cooling rack.
