Hot Cocoa Cookies
Report
Like the classic winter drink, but in cookie form, these Hot Cocoa Cookies are chock full of chocolate-y goodness and topped with a toasted marshmallow. These dairy-free cookies are the perfect companion for a mug of hot chocolate or a glass of milk.

Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 oz. dark chocolate melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks 62% works beautifully here
- 12 regular-sized marshmallows cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a large glass bowl, mix the coconut oil and sugar together until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Pour in the melted (and slightly cooled) chocolate, and stir until the chocolate is mixed in.
- In another bowl, measure in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together.
- Measure the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until just combined.
- Measure in the dark chocolate chunks, and gently fold them into the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop 1" balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Using the end of a spatula (or something round like a muddler), press rounds into the half-baked dough.
- In the rounds, place the halved marshmallows.
- Transfer the baking sheet back into the oven and bake for an additional 6-9 minutes, or until the marshmallows have browned.
- Remove from the oven, and cool slightly, then enjoy!
Notes
- Do not chill the batter. The coconut oil will firm up and make it very hard to scoop the cookies, even when the batter comes to room temperature.
- The marshmallows get a little hard when these cookies come to room temperature. To get the same gooey texture as the just-out-of-the-oven cookies, pop in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
