Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hot Cocoa Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Incorporate 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 2.75 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just incorporated.
  • Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of mini marshmallows evenly throughout the dough.
  • Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
  • Let cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes
