Description
These hot chocolate cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor and gooey mini marshmallows—perfect for a cozy treat during colder months.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Optional: 1 packet hot cocoa mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- Drop the dough by tablespoon or cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Fold marshmallows gently to prevent premature melting.
Press a few marshmallows on top of each dough ball before baking for extra gooey texture.
Chill dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft to prevent spreading.
Microwave cookies for 10-15 seconds to revive gooey texture after storing.
