These Hot Chocolate Cookies are my favorite Holiday cookies. No fuss and so easy to make. There are a lot of ways to make them using the same recipe, but I’m showing 3 ways here. I’m using marshmallows, white chocolate chips and melted white chocolate chips with oil. They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. These cookies are so good they will definitely bring joy around. 🍪🎄 ☃️ 🎁

Recipe:
1. All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups
2. Baking soda – 1 tsp
3. Cocoa – 30gr
4. Hot cocoa mix – 40gr
5. Salt – pinch
6. Unsalted butter – 1 stick,(113gr), room temperature
7.  Dark Brown Sugar – 100gr 
8. Egg – 1
9. Vanilla extract – 1tsp
10. Milk – 1 tbsp(15ml)

White Chocolate Chips – 200gr
Big marshmallows cut in half

In a bowl mix dry ingredients except brown sugar and set aside. In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment beat butter and brown sugar for a few minutes. Scrape the sides down and beat a bit more ( in the video I made a mistake and added the sugar to the dry ingredients, but it worked out fine). Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. Add the dry ingredients in three additions mixing well after each addition. And last add the milk and mix well again, if using chocolate chips add them here. You can refrigerate the dough for 30 min in plastic wrap. Here I used it right away. Make balls a little bigger than a tablespoon size. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
*If using the marshmallows bake for 10 min and take them out, gently press the marshmallow in the center and bake for 2-3 min more.
*If using the melted chocolate chips bake for 10 min, take them out and press in the center using a spoon. Bake for 2-3 min more.  When done let them cool a little. In the meantime melt chocolate chips in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until well melted, add a little oil and stir well. Spoon chocolate in the center of the cookie.
* You can also just drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
