Easy Hot Cocoa Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup hot cocoa mix
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup Jet Puffed Mallow Bits dehydrated marshmallows
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips for tops of cookies
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with a handheld electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the hot cocoa mix, flour, cocoa powder, salt, soda, and baking powder. Stir just until barely combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mallow bits.
- Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with silicone liner or parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
- Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls. (I like to use a cookie scoop to portion the cookies.) Place at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies at 350° for 9-11 minutes, or until barely set in the middle.
- Immediately press a few of the milk chocolate chips on the top of each cookie. (I also like to press some extra mallow bits on the cookies.)
- Let cool on the pan for 4-5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
-You can chill the dough for 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 45-60 minutes or until it is soft enough to scoop.
