Hot Chocolate Cookies Recipe Is the Cookie of Winter (20 Minutes) Cookies Desserts Holidays Snacks

This easy hot chocolate cookie recipe was part of my Christmas cookie tray this year. Several family members said it was the best cookie they've ever eaten. This one-bowl cookie recipe is so simple to prep and bake, and is officially the cookie of winter. 

To make this chewy hot chocolate cookie recipe you will need to gather the following ingredients from your fridge and pantry: butter, granulated sugar, an egg, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows. If you're taking them to a holiday get-together, you can make them more festive with colorful sprinkles. 

This chocolate cookie recipe with mini marshmallows is not only a wonderful addition to your winter holiday dessert table, but they make a sweet snack or dessert year-round. Maybe with a cup of hot chocolate?
