Step-by-Step Instructions for Hot Chocolate Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs to the creamed mixture, one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
