Hot Cocoa Cookies
Description
Hot Cocoa Cookies are made by creaming butter with white and brown sugars before adding eggs and vanilla. A dry mix of flour, hot chocolate mix, salt, baking soda, and baking powder is combined into the wet ingredients. Chocolate chips and marshmallow bits fold in for bursts of chocolate and sweet marshmallow texture.
The dough is scooped onto baking sheets and baked at 350°F until edges set and centers remain soft. Cooling allows the cookies to firm up and prevents breaking apart. The flavor echoes hot chocolate with the added texture of melted chocolate chips and gooey marshmallow bits.
While traditional marshmallow bits can be harder to find, freeze-dried marshmallows are a usable substitute. Cookies can be enjoyed fresh or stored for a few days. The combination gives a nostalgic twist on classic chocolate chip cookies with a cozy hot cocoa theme.
