Pep­per­mint Hot Choco­late Cookies

Pep­per­mint Hot Choco­late Cookies

Ingre­di­ents:

• 2 sticks but­ter (room temp)
• 1 C sugar
• 2/3 C brown sugar
• 2 1/4 C flour
• 3/4 C cocoa pow­der or hot choco­late mix
• 2 eggs
• 2 t vanilla
• 1 t bak­ing soda
• 1 C pep­per­mint crunch bak­ing chips
• 1/2 C semi-sweet or dark choco­late chips
• approx. 2 C mini marshmallows

Direc­tions:

1. Pre­heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa pow­der, and bak­ing soda until combined.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the but­ter & sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.
4. Slowly add the dry ingre­di­ents to the large bowl and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in pep­per­mint & choco­late chips.
6. Form dough balls and place about 2″ apart onto parch­ment lined bak­ing sheets (this recipe makes between  around 4 dozen cook­ies so you can flash freeze some of the dough balls, then store in the freezer for later baking).
7. Bake for 10–12 min­utes. *At about the 8 minute mark, pull the cook­ies out and top with mini marsh­mal­lows (I did 4–6 per cookie). You might need to just lightly push them into the cookie. Then, return to the oven for the final few min­utes. The marsh­mal­lows should get nice & puffy, but not too gooey!
