Hot Chocolate Cookie Recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and hot chocolate mix. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg until fully incorporated and then add in your vanilla and combine.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined.
- Gently fold in your semi-sweet chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out generous dollops of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of space between each dollop.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
- Chill Your Dough: For thicker cookies, chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and ensures a nice, chewy texture.
- Use Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor. You can even mix different types of chocolate for added complexity.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Since ovens can vary, check your cookies a minute or two before the suggested baking time. You want them to look slightly underbaked in the center for a chewy texture.
