Hot Chocolate Cookies
These chewy chocolate cookies taste just like a warm cup of hot cocoa with the addition of hot chocolate mix in the dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup hot chocolate mix *regular not sugar free
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini freeze dried marshmallows (best option) * or mini marshmallows cut into small bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat the butter and sugars together in the bowl of your stand mixer until light and fluffy
- add the eggs and vanilla and combine well
- In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour through hot chocolate mix) and stir to combine
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter/egg mixture and beat until blended
- Add the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits then cover and chill for 10 minutes if you want a taller, less spread out cookie.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon about 2 Tbsp of cookie dough onto the parchment separating by at least 2" per cookie
- Bake for 9-11 minutes (or until lightly browned on the edges). For a chewier cookie bake for the shorter amount of time.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note, this cookie dough is quite dry, don't worry, it still bakes into a nice cookie. if you prefer a flatter cookie then skip the chilling process.
