Sharing is caring!

Marshmallows and chocolate go hand-in-hand, and these cookies are a match made in Heaven! They’re fun to make, DELICIOUS straight out of the oven and hard to stop eating. Who doesn’t like gooey marshmallow with melted chocolate all on a decadent cookie?!

These cookies are best warm, right out of the oven. Are they ok cold? Sure but when they’re all melty inside with that gooey baked marshmallow on top something magical happens and boy are they delicious.

Here’s What You’ll Need to Get Started!

Gather up the following: All purpose flour, cocoa powder, light brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, room temperature butter and eggs, semi sweet chocolate, salt, and marshmallows! Use the best chocolate you can find, especially for the melted chocolate piece under the marshmallow, it’s the main flavor people will taste when they bite into your cookies.

Steps to Make Hot Chocolate Cookies

1. In a medium saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter and the 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly until just melted. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes to slightly cool.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla, then add in the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until combined.
3. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed just until combined.
4. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop and drop the cookie dough by the tablespoon, onto the prepared cookie sheets. You should fit 12 cookies per sheet, and make sure to space them at least 2 inches apart.
6. Bake cookies for 12 minutes.
7. Remove cookies from oven and place one piece of chocolate on the center of each cookie.
8. Cut marshmallows in half, then top each chocolate with one-half marshmallow. Place cookies back in oven and bake another 4 minutes so the marshmallows melt.
9. Sprinkle with grated semisweet chocolate and allow to cool.
