These Hot Cocoa Cookies are a favorite for good reason. Easy to make and bursting with chocolatey, marshmallow goodness, they truly taste like a bite of hot cocoa in cookie form. Bake a batch and enjoy!
We love making these cookies year-round, but they’re especially welcome when the weather turns chilly.
I like to double the cocoa joy: a pot of hot chocolate paired with a tray of these cookies is always a hit.
They’re rich, comforting, and universally adored.
Try dunking one into a cup of hot cocoa — double the deliciousness!
These are a fun bake to make with kids; they love folding in the mini marshmallow bits and chocolate chips.
Bake a batch soon — one bite and you’ll see why we love them.
Enjoy the fun and the flavor!
