What is a Hot Chocolate Cookie?
Think of a delicious, warm and chocolatey cookie with swirls of melty marshmallow throughout. Sounds delicious, right?! That's exactly what this Hot Chocolate Cookie is made of!
This cookie starts off with a chocolate cookie base that's soft, chewy and full of chocolate flavor. I wanted this cookie to embrace the flavors of hot chocolate, so I swirled in marshmallow fluff. The marshmallow and chocolate combination is the perfect combination and totally fits the hot chocolate vibes!
Marshmallows VS Marshmallow Fluff
This recipe could be made using either marshmallows or marshmallow fluff; however, I like using the marshmallow fluff a little bit better in this recipe. Adding the marshmallow fluff to the cookie dough creates these fun swirls throughout the cookies, which reminds me of when the marshmallows start to melt into the hot chocolate.
However, if you only have marshmallows on hand, you can use them instead if you want, just make sure you follow these tips:
- Add the marshmallows to the cookie dough in the last 4 minutes of baking. Adding the marshmallows to the cookie dough and then baking for the full time could result in the marshmallow burning before the cookie is done baking.
- If you're using big marshmallows, I recommend cutting them in half first before adding to the cookie dough. I found that using the whole marshmallow took longer for the marshmallow to get that perfect meltiness!
I like to add the marshmallow fluff because it's a bit easier to work with than marshmallows, but either one will be delicious! There's nothing better than a gooey marshmallow and warm chocolate cookie!
