Hot Chocolate Cookies
These hot chocolate cookies are made with cocoa mix and topped with a toasted marshmallow. They are warm, gooey and make a delicious holiday cookie.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup hot chocolate cocoa mix, (see note)
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 7 large marshmallows
- 1 tbsp chocolate shavings, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.
- Add the flour, hot chocolate mix, cocoa powder and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
- Make round cookie balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place balls onto cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Snip large marshmallows in half. Press the sticky side of a half marshmallow into the center of chocolate cookie ball, until cookie flattens into a round disc and the marshmallow is partially buried into the center of the disc.
- Bake about 10 minutes until cookies are done. Set oven to a low broil. Watching cookies carefully, broil for about 30 seconds to toast marshmallow tops until they turn a deep brown. Let cookies cool a few minutes before eating. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of chocolate shavings on top of each cookie. You can reheat cold cookies in microwave for about 15 seconds each so that marshmallow centers become melted again.
Notes
- For the hot cocoa mix, I used Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate.
