🔥 How to Make Hot Cocoa Cookies

1. Make the cookie dough

Prepare the sugar cookie dough exactly as the package directs.
Start with a fully mixed, smooth dough.

2. Melt the white chocolate

Add white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 10–15 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

3. Add the chocolate flavors

Mix the following directly into the dough:

• Cocoa powder

• Sugar

• Vanilla

• Melted white chocolate

The dough will turn dark, glossy, and chocolatey.

4. Mix in the marshmallows

Gently fold mini marshmallows into the dough.
They’ll melt slightly while baking and create gooey pockets — just like marshmallows in real hot cocoa.

5. Add extra mix-ins (optional)

Fold in mini chocolate chips if you want a richer, more chocolate-loaded cookie.

6. Chill the dough

Refrigerate the dough for 20–30 minutes.
This helps the marshmallows hold their shape and keeps the cookies thick and soft.

7. Bake

Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.

8. Let them cool

Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes so the marshmallows can set back into the cookie without sticking.

These cookies have everything you love about hot cocoa — rich chocolate flavor, creamy sweetness from melted white chocolate, and pockets of soft marshmallows baked right inside. They’re simple to make, incredibly cozy, and absolutely perfect for winter.
