Hot Chocolate in a Cookie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows

Cooking Steps:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 4: Fold in the chocolate chips to the cookie dough.

Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly press a few mini marshmallows onto the top of each cookie.

Step 7: Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly toasted.

Step 8: Allow the Hot Chocolate Cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa for the ultimate chocolatey experience!
