About these Hot Chocolate Cookies

My all-time favorite cookie is a peanut butter blossom, but these hot chocolate cookies are a close second. The chocolatey flavor paired with the perfectly crispy edge is hard to beat. Add the mini marshmallows, and you’re in cookie heaven. Enjoy these cookies when they are still slightly warm. The marshmallows and the center of the cookie are ooey-gooey and oh so good. Another idea, is to top them with ice cream for the ultimate weekend treat.

When prepping these cookies its best to let the marshmallows get a little stale before using them. They seem to hold up better in the oven if they’ve had a chance to firm up first. You can also add chocolate chips or nuts for a fun and Healthyish twist. This recipe makes 24 cookies. Please see below for nutritional information.

Storage

Store these hot chocolate cookies covered on the counter for four to five days. Enjoy them room temperature or slightly warmed. Looking for more cookie recipes? Try my all-time favorite peanut butter blossoms.
