How to Make Hot Chocolate Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Scoop out portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
