Description
Delicious soft and chewy cookies inspired by hot chocolate, packed with chocolate and topped with marshmallow bits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 packages hot cocoa mix (or 3/4 cup hot cocoa mix – NOT sugar-free versions)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Mallow Bits (mini marshmallows do not work the same)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugars with a stand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the mixture and continue to mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, hot cocoa mix, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until everything is well blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and Mallow Bits.
- Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for better flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop 2 tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper, keeping them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps maintain the shape of the cookies while baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
