Hot Chocolate Cookies are slightly crispy on the outside, with a moist and dense chocolaty center; complete with mini marshmallow bits! These are substantial cookies, meaning that they are thick and filling. Great for dunking in hot chocolate too!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mini milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini dehydrated marshmallows, see notes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and the sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add it to the wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Next, stir in 1 cup of mini milk chocolate chips.
Portion out 1 heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough. Roll into a ball and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
With the palm of your hand, flatten the cookie ball to just under half of an inch thick. Top the cookie with a few of the remaining milk chocolate chips and press in a few mini dehydrated marshmallows.
Repeat until you have used up all of the cookie dough, leaving two inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

The marshmallows are not the soft kind that you find in a bag in the baking section of your grocer. These mini marshmallows are dehydrated and come in a bottle like sprinkles. Sometimes they are referred to as marshmallow bits.
