Ingredients

Hot Chocolate Cookies

  • ¾ Cup Butter softened
  • ¾ Cup Sugar
  • ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Hot Cocoa Mix about 3 packets
  • 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder

Hot Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar for glaze
  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Cocoa Mix for glaze
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk for glaze
  • Mini Marshmallows for topping

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa mix, baking cocoa, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to drop cookie dough balls about two inches apart onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the back of a measuring cup to flatten the tops of the cookies. Allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Hot Chocolate Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, remaining hot cocoa mix, and milk. Spread over the top of each cookie and add 3-4 mini marshmallows.
