Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Butter Room Temperaturexer
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 Packets Hot Cocoa Mix
  • 3 TBSP Cocoa
  • 2 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ TSP Salt
  • 1 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup Mallow Bits

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined, light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in hot cocoa mix and cocoa powder and mix on medium speed until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
  • Mixing on low, add in the flour mixture a ½ cup at a time and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Using a wooden spoon, gently combine the chocolate chips and Marshmallow bits until evenly mixed into the cookie dough.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, drop about 1½ TBSP of cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Space about 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake about 9-11 minutes until cookies are set and edges appear slightly golden-brown.
  • Allow to rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheet prior to moving to a cooling rack to allow to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days. Freeze extra to enjoy later!
