These Hot Cocoa Cookies are chewy chocolate cookies studded with chocolate chips and mallow bits. The perfect cookie to have with a warm cup of hot chocolate.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
On low speed beat in the cocoa powder.
Add the remaining dry ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until combined.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips and mallow bits.
Using a medium scoop or 2 tablespoons, place cookie dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies in preheated oven on center rack for 9-11 minutes or until the centers no longer look wet and glossy.
Let cookies cool for 3 minutes on pan then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
