Description
Delicious cookies that combine the warmth of hot chocolate with gooey marshmallows, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup hot chocolate mix (powder)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and hot chocolate mix until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows using a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto a non-greased baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading. If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 15–30 minutes for best results.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. The marshmallows should be melted and gooey.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add chocolate chips to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
