Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup instant hot cocoa mix see note
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup marshmallow bits Plus more for garnish, see note
- 1-1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (one package) save a handful for garnish.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add in the flour, hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.
- Scoop with a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons)2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Use extra marshmallow bits and chocolate chips to garnish the top (optional, but makes them pretty!)
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are crisp and center is set.Optional for bakery style: Immediately after you take them out of the oven, turn a glass upside down and roll around the edges to make the cookie perfectly round with defined edges.
- Let cool 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes
- Makes approx 36 cookies.
- Ingredient notes:
- You can use whatever brand of hot cocoa mix you like! I used Swiss Miss here, but you can use any brand with great results. The cookies will favor the flavor of the hot chocolate mix, so make sure to grab a brand you love!
- It is VERY IMPORTANT to use marshmallow bits, not mini marshmallows. Marshmallow bits taste like marshmallows but they are smaller and not as soft. These will not melt in the oven while baking, where regular marshmallows can. You can find marshmallow bits on the baking aisle in most stores.
