Print Recipe

Rich and chewy Hot Cocoa Cookies made with cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate, and marshmallows for a cozy, chocolatey treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 6 large marshmallows, cut in half crosswise
  • flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, cream butter and light brown sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
  5. Add dry ingredients in two batches, mixing to combine and scraping bowl as needed.
  6. Fold in half of the chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
  7. Chill dough for 20 minutes.
  8. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto two cookie sheets (12 cookies total).
  9. Bake for 8 minutes. Immediately press a marshmallow half into the top of each cookie and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  10. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading. Using flaky sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor. Press marshmallows into warm cookies right after baking for best melt.
