Why Hot Cocoa Cookies Are Amazing

There used to be a cooking show on tv where a woman made fantastic things with premade ingredients and added things to make them new and better.

These Hot Cocoa Cookies are a perfect example of that type of semi-homemade cooking. They are quick, but lack nothing in the flavor department. They will become a must make cookie in your rotation.

How to Make Hot Chocolate Cookies – Step by Step 

  • Preheat Oven: First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Make Batter: Mix together brownie mix, eggs, olive oil, and flour. 
  • Roll Balls: Next, take about one tablespoon full of dough and roll in your hand into a ball. Then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space about 2 inches apart works as they cookies will expand as they cook.  
  • Bake: Bake for 5 minutes. Open the oven and place marshmallows well into the cookie top.
