How to Make Marshmallow-Surprise Hot Cocoa Cookies
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined to form a smooth and velvety dough.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, hot cocoa mix, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients. Mix just until incorporated, then stir in the milk.
- Chill the dough by covering it and placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into balls, measuring about 25-26 grams each, and place them on the baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, then press a halved marshmallow onto each cookie quickly.
- Return the cookies to the oven for an additional 2 minutes to allow the marshmallows to puff.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over each marshmallow top and allow it to set for 30-60 minutes.

Notes
Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking as oven temperatures can vary. Optionally, drizzle extra chocolate or sprinkle sea salt on top.
