Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft and chewy Hot Chocolate cookies loaded with white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and mini marshmallow bits!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ cup hot chocolate powder (not sugar-free)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks/chips
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup Marshmallow bits, plus more for topping*
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar on high for one minute until combined. Add in the egg, vanilla, and hot chocolate mix, beating until combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits until evenly mixed. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 5 days, before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out mounds of dough (about 2 Tablespoons each), and place on the baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Top with more marshmallow bits, if desired.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges have set and the tops look slightly under undercooked. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*Marshmallow Bits are usually found in the hot cocoa/coffee aisle of the grocery store. If you can't find them, you can definitely substitute regular miniature marshmallows. However, I would recommend decreasing the amount of the chocolate chips. Just add 1 cup miniature marshmallows, 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips to the dough.
