Hot Chocolate Cookies

From the Girl Who Ate Everything

Serves: 30 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup white sugar
• ⅔ cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3-¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 (1-oz) packages hot chocolate mix (not sugar-free; a total of about 1 cup of hot chocolate mix)
• 1-¼ teaspoons salt
• 1-¼ teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2-3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/2-3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or peppermint crunch)
• 15 large marshmallows cut in half

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients slowly until incorporated. The dough will be thick.
3. Fold in the chips. Chill the dough for an hour. Chilling the dough allows the ingredients to blend and also makes a thicker cookie.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Make balls of dough, around 1½ tablespoons each, and place onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. poke hole in top of the cookie and place the marshmallows in the half way down the hole. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. The cookies will still look soft. They will continue to cook as they cool. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. I love these warm. If your eating them after they have cooled you can warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds.
