Description

These Hot Chocolate Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of hot cocoa with the chewy goodness of a classic cookie, topped with gooey mini marshmallows. Perfect for winter days or holiday gatherings!


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Additional:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the ingredients: In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add finishing touches: Stir in milk, fold in chocolate chips. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, press mini marshmallows on top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges set and centers are slightly soft. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • For extra gooey marshmallows, add more after baking.
  • You can substitute cocoa powder with hot cocoa mix, adjusting sugar content if needed.
