Hot Cocoa Cookies


In preparation for Martha's 2nd Annual Cookie Swap, LaDawna came over to my house for us to work together to make our cookies.  I had chosen the Triple Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies, but she wasn't quite sure what she should make for her contribution.  Similar to what I did for my cookies, I let my fingers search google to see what we could come up with.  Somehow, we got our minds fixed on fluff, so I searched and found this Hot Cocoa Cookies recipe.  In regards to the fact that they are a cocoa based cookie, they were similar to mine, however these have fluff and marshmallows in them, and had ooey-gooey sweet consistency that was exactly like their name -- hot cocoa in a cookie!  These are definitely cookies we want to make again.
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. Stir in marshmallow fluff.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
  5. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Remove, and roll into 1 ½” balls.
  7. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Make sure cookies are fully cooked, because they will be very sticky from the marshmallows.
  8. Allow cookies to cool completely, even sticking them in the fridge for 15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet with a spatula. Be patient and gently remove cookies – let sit another 30 minutes.
