Super Soft Hot Cocoa Cookies!🎄🦌 (DAY 5 of 12 Days of Cookies)

Published 1 day ago • 3 min read

Happy Sunday Reader!

Marshmallow + chocolate is another one of my favorite flavor combinations and these cookies deliver!

Several years ago I started working on this cookie and I wasn't dazzled with how it was turning out and so I just dropped it. I picked it up recently, changed the cookie dough base and it worked PERFECTLY!

This chocolate cookie dough bakes up gorgeous! Each piece of dough has 3 mini marshmallows nestled inside for the perfect gooey center.

I tested this cookie dough resting in the fridge for 1 to 3 days, it worked great. You'll need to let it get closer to room temp before scooping as it gets quite hard when chilled.

Here's the best part, you can freeze the cookie dough balls with the marshmallows inside. You'll just need to roll in granulated sugar prior to baking. I love this!

This is a great cookie to gift and will ship like a dream.

Leave any questions on the recipe page and I'll get back asap.

Have a wonderful day!!
