Make soft, chewy chocolate cookies that taste like a warm cup of hot cocoa. These easy cookies include rich chocolate flavor and are topped with melted marshmallows.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (standard packet variety)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and hot cocoa mix.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately press a layer of mini marshmallows onto the top of each warm cookie.
  10. Return the sheets to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows puff up and become gooey.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • You can use regular-sized marshmallows if you cut them in half first.
  • These cookies are best eaten the day they are made for the softest texture.
