Description

Soft, fudgy chocolate cookies inspired by hot cocoa, complete with gooey marshmallows and rich chocolate flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a thick dough.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
  7. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Add extra marshmallows on top after baking for a gooier finish.
  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes if marshmallows melt too quickly.
  • Use flavored hot cocoa mix (peppermint, caramel) for variations.
