Like a mug of steamy, hot chocolate, baked into a cookie, this treat delivers your favorite holiday drink in a way you’ve never imagined. Cookies with the perfect amount of chewiness and marshmallows that will melt in your mouth (just like in your hot cocoa), these are great for a Christmas or holiday cookie exchange. Fall into a cloud of milk chocolate and marshmallows, you’ll be glad you did!

Spice it Up
These cookies are practically perfect in every way already, but if you are looking for a way to add some zing to this thing, here are some suggestions:
Crushed peppermint- this flavor goes so well with hot chocolate, have you ever put a candy cane in a mug of hot cocoa? Dark chocolate ganache- the slightly bitter taste of the dark chocolate will compliment the sweet flavors of this cookie. Sprinkles- fun, holiday sprinkles could be incorporated into the dough or sprinkled on top of ganache if you so choose. Nutella- a drizzle of Nutella would go far! Crushed chocolate covered espresso beans- coffee and chocolate, a match made in heaven! Chunky sea salt- no one ever DIDN’T like salty chocolate.
