How to Make Cozy Indulgent Hot Chocolate Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until smoothly blended.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, adding the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined, then stir in the mini marshmallows.
  • Scoop the dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with powdered sugar before sprinkling it over the cooled cookies.
  • Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies for an extra festive touch.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
