These rich and chocolatey hot cocoa cookies and soft and moist and so good! Filled with a marshmallow center and sprinkles of your choice, these cookies are perfect for any occasion!
I love baking during the holidays. It is one of my favorite things in the world. Something about the joy of sweets and the Christmas season just blends together so perfectly. This year has been so insane I think I bought Christmas sprinkles in the beginning of August.
Last year I tried a bunch of cookie recipes–I tried Candy Cane Cookies which were fun, and even these fun Christmas Wreath cookies. This year though, I wanted to go for a really good chocolate cookie.
I have been having a strong hankering for Hot Chocolate and so I did a search for Hot Cocoa Cookies. I didn’t know what I was getting into but the idea of marshmallows and chocolate frosting inside of a chocolate cake type of cookie didn’t sound half bad.
One of the great things about having a hand to bake is that you keep certain ingredients on hand all times: butter, cocoa, baking powder and soda, eggs, flour, vanilla, brown sugar and white sugar too. Powdered sugar always ready for frosting options!
Most times I don’t use my mixer, but this time I did. When it was time to chill the dough, I simply took the entire bowl and shoved it in the fridge. Since this is a crucial part of the recipe I was sure to pay attention and leave it in there for at least an hour. Trust me, it is so worth the wait!
Decorate Hot Cocoa Cookies For Christmas or Anytime!
I used my Christmas Cookie sprinkles for this one, but I also used regular chocolate sprinkles. Yes, it’s a great Christmas cookie, but honestly, I can make this in the middle of the summer and get a fantastic chocolate fix!
If you have anyone in your house that doesn’t like marshmallows, feel free to leave a few cookies without them. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy them, but I did! What I like most about the cookie was the cake like texture. I strongly believe that all cookies should be cake-like (but that’s just me!).
Grab a glass of milk, the kids, your favorite sprinkles and get ready for a cookie that will blow your mind.
These rich and chocolatey cookies have a marshmallow surprise in the middle and a delicious cake like texture. Perfect for the holidays or any time of year!
