Hot Cocoa Cookies
Description
Hot Cocoa Cookies blend softened butter with sugar and brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla, then incorporate a dry mix of hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour. Chocolate chips are folded in for bursts of melted chocolate. After chilling the dough for at least an hour, cookie balls are baked until just firm. Mini marshmallows are then added atop each cookie, baked briefly again to create a gooey, lightly toasted topping. This creates a soft cookie with a chocolate flavor that's intensified by the cocoa and hot cocoa mix.
The texture combines a tender crumb with pockets of melted chocolate and sweet marshmallow topping. The chilling step helps the cookies hold their shape during baking and develop flavor. Baking with marshmallows near the end preserves their marshmallow texture without burning.
These cookies are suited for enjoying alongside hot drinks or as a snack. Their rich chocolate and marshmallow character mimics the cozy feeling of drinking hot cocoa in cookie form.
