Hot Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and hot chocolate mix. Set aside.

  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg until fully incorporated and then add in your vanilla and combine.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in your semi-sweet chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.
  7. 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. 
  8. Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
  4. 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.
