Day 3 of my 12 Days of Christmas Baking compilation!
We had our first snow of the season this week and as I was sipping a cup of hot cocoa, I thought of how great a cookie with these flavors would be. Who doesn’t like mini marshmallows anyways – nobody!
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups/2 ½ sticks butter, softened
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa
- 4 – 0.73 ounce packets of milk chocolate hot cocoa mix, I used Swiss Miss Classics Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix
- 1 ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Directions:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown and granulated sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat an additional minute.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, Dutch-processed cocoa, the hot cocoa mixes, the baking soda and the baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and the mini marshmallows. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto greased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are set. Cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes then place the cookies on cooling racks.
Yields 2 dozens.
