These Hot Cocoa Cookies are chewy, chocolaty


and oh so delicious! These have quickly become
my favorite Christmas cookie!

I created this recipe to take to a friend’s


Christmas Cookie Exchange Party, and they were
a huge hit!

These cookies start with a brownie-like cookie


base, then get topped with a marshmallow, fudge
glaze and sprinkles… what more could you want?

Earlier this week, I shared the pretty details of my


friend Bethany’s Cookie Exchange Party.

Normally, if I’m invited to a cookie exchange I


might make some pretty decorated cookies…
but I knew Bethany had that covered.

So I baked up these Hot Cocoa Cookies, and I’m


so glad I did! They’re chewy, chocolaty and oh
so cute!

Feel free to use different sprinkles for different


holidays, or to match a color theme… easy peasy!

INGREDIENTS
For the cookies
1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
25 large marshmallows approximately

For the icing


2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 stick,
melted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
assorted sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS
Make the cookies
1. In a medium saucepan (or in a microwave
safe bowl, using 50% power), melt the
butter and chocolate, stirring frequently.
Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the
flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and
salt.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the


sugar, eggs and vanilla on low speed until
well combined.
4. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and
blend until just combined.
5. While mixing, add the flour mixture slowly
and blend until just combined.
6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then
cover the dough and refrigerate at least 1
hour. The dough should be firm. If
making the dough a day ahead, let sit at
room temperature for 30 minutes before
shaping.

7. Preheat oven to 325*F. and line 2 baking


sheets with parchment paper or a silpat
type liner. Use a tablespoon (or a
tablespoon sized cookie scoop) to scoop
the dough, then roll the dough in your
hands to create balls. Arrange the balls
about 2 inches apart on your baking
sheets, then flatten slightly.
8. Bake cookies about 12 minutes.
9. While the cookies bake, cut the large
marshmallows in half (crosswise). When
the cookies have baked, remove from
oven and press one marshmallow half (cut
side down) into the center of each cookie.
Return the cookies to the oven and
bake another 2-3 minutes. Allow the pan
of cookies to cool a few minutes, then
transfer cookies to cooling rack.

Prepare cookie icing


1. Prepare cookie icing by combining all
ingredients in a medium bowl and mixing
together with a whisk. Place wire cooling
rack (with cookies on it) over a baking
sheet (to catch any excess icing). Spoon a
small amount of icing onto the top of each
marshmallow, and use the back of the
spoon to spread it a bit. After icing just a
couple cookies, top with sprinkles before
the icing dries.
2. Allow icing to set up about 30 minutes
before serving.

I made these for a cookie exchange this Christmas


specifically because I’m not a huge fan of marshmallow
and I thought it would remove some temptation.
Needless to say, it did not work. They were simply
marvelous!

The Hot Cocoa Cookies are an essential part of our


family’s Christmas celebration, and have been for
several years! They are easy to make, look so pretty,
and are absolutely delicious! I get compliments and
requests for the recipe every time I make them. If you
must make them early, you can easily freeze them and
set them out to come to room temperature when you’re
ready to serve them. Thanks so much for this recipe!!!!
