HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES
Hot chocolate cookies are like hot cocoa in cookie form, with a soft, rich, chocolate cookie topped with melted chocolate and a gooey marshmallow! Just like your favorite cup of cocoa!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 12 oz chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 24–25 large marshmallows
- 1 large chocolate bar
Instructions
-
Melt together your butter and chocolate chips in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
-
Allow chocolate to cool for 15 minutes.
-
In a large bowl combine your dry ingredients (Your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt) Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl cream together your brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
-
Add your slightly cooled, melted chocolate mixture to your egg mixture and stir until combined.
-
Slowly add in your dry ingredients while stirring until mixed.
-
Cover your bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours (The dough is like a thick cake batter before refrigerated, so you’ll need it to firm up a good amount).
-
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
-
Roll your dough into 1 1/2 -2 inch cookie dough balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, until cookies start to crack.
-
Meanwhile, cut your marshmallows in half and cut your chocolate into 1/2 inch pieces (I cut each piece from the bar into 3 pieces)
-
Remove from oven and top each cookie with a piece of chocolate and marshmallow and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
-
Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top of your marshmallows if desired.
