Hot Cocoa Cookies

Hot cocoa and hot cocoa cookies, the perfect way to warm up after being out in the cold! I found this recipe on the back of the Mallow Bits package and it is originally from Christi at Love from the Oven.

I randomly came across the mallow bits during a trip to Target. So, I know you can find them there! I also used the hot cocoa with the mini marshmallows because that was what I had!

 

Start by beating the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

 

 

Add eggs and vanilla, mix.

 

 

Mix the dry ingredients.

 

Gradually beat into butter mixture.

 

Stir in mallow bits and chocolate chips.

 

Scoop and bake.

 

Enjoy!
