Ingredients

For Cookies:

  • 1 ½ sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (198 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (213 grams) light brown sugar packed
  • 3 large (150 grams) eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 packages Cocoa Classics Chocolate Surpreme Hot Cocoa Mix
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (255 grams) chocolate chopped or chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (43 grams) mini marshmallows

Instructions

For Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully before adding the next. Add the vanilla and combine.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, Cocoa Classics Chocolate Supreme Hot Cocoa Mix, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredietns. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate and mini marshmallows.
  • Cover the cookie dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Make scoops of cookie dough about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons in size. Place at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet.

Notes

  • Chill your cookie dough. I know skipping this step is tempting (you want your cookies as quickly as possible and I can’t blame you for that!) but don’t do it! Chilling cookie dough prevents the cookies from overspreading. This can cause them to be thinner, and crispier, and change the overall flavor of the end product.
  • Don’t use cold ingredients. Ensure that all of your cold ingredients are at room temperature before making your cookies. The ingredients will combine much easier and you won’t have chunks of cold butter in your cookie dough, which can lead to greasy cookies.
