Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the Hot Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup hot chocolate mix
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- To assemble, scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of hot chocolate mix and a few mini marshmallows in the center. Enclose the filling with the dough and roll into a ball.
- Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the cookie dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days before baking.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Substitutions: Use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan option, or replace the hot chocolate mix with homemade cocoa powder and sugar mixture.
