Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Cookies + Recipe Link Party!


Today I am SO excited to be co-hosting our final party with Heather at The Lovely Cupboard!  Our party is all about holiday recipes...whether it be baked goods, cocktails, or savory dishes.  

Today I'm sharing the cookies that I made for our cookie party last weekend...they're dark chocolate hot cocoa cookies!


These yummy little morsels are super moist and the marshmallows give it a fun twist!  They have chocolate chips cookies in them as well, which gives them great texture!

Recipe adapted from A Few Short Cuts

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1.5 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup dark cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups mini marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended.
Mix in the chocolate chips
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set.
Immediately top with three mini marshmallows when you remove the cookies from the oven.
If more gooey marshmallow is desired place marshmallow topped cookies back in the oven for 1 mintute.
Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

We served our cookies as part of a Hot Cocoa Bar, which I totally recommend whipping up at your next party!
