Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups (390 grams) all-purpose flour
- 4 packages (approximately 3/4 cup or 75 grams) hot cocoa mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 2/3 cup (130 grams) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (50 grams) Mallow Bits
Instructions
- Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture achieves a whipped, airy consistency. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until smooth and well-integrated.
- Sift together flour, hot cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate vessel, ensuring no lumps remain. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and marshmallow bits into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout. Wrap the dough in plastic film and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of half an hour, allowing flavors to meld and texture to firm.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Scoop chilled dough using a tablespoon, creating uniform mounds spaced two inches apart to prevent spreading.
- Slide the cookie-laden sheets into the preheated oven. Bake for 9-11 minutes, watching for delicate golden-brown edges as an indicator of doneness. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for five minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and ensure thick, chewy cookies with concentrated flavors.
- Swap hot cocoa mix with dairy-free or sugar-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
- Use marshmallow-flavored chocolate chips for an extra layer of sweetness and enhanced hot chocolate experience.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain soft texture and prevent hardening.
