Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.

                  Cool and Dust: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for an extra touch.

                    Serve: Enjoy your delicious Marshmallow-Surprise Hot Cocoa Cookies warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa!
