Perfect Cookie Sizing

To help achieve the perfect cooking sizing, I like to use a spring loaded ice cream scoop that measures 3 tablespoons.

This helps the cookies stay close to the same size so they bake evenly.

I also prefer my cookies to be 3 tablespoons in size because it gives you the best of both worlds, chewy centers with crisp edges.

Lining Your Sheet Pan

Lining your sheet pans with a silicone mat or parchment paper keeps your baking sheets clean, and makes clean up a breeze. Plus, it helps cookies release with ease.

If you are having issues with your cookies spreading with a silicone mat, try switching to parchment paper instead.

Chocolaty Hot Cocoa Cookies made with hot cocoa mix, chocolate chips and dehydrated marshmallows.

Ingredients

SPECIAL TOOLS

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Stand mixer
  • Silicone mat or parchment paper
  • 3 tablespoon sized ice cream scoop, optional

COOKIES

  • 3 cups (15 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup hot chocolate mix
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, about 65 degrees
  • 1 cup (7 ounces) lightly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (3.5 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dehydrated marshmallows

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, hot chocolate mix, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment attached, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolks and mix until combined. Add in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add the dry ingredients in a little at a time until combined. Add in the chocolate chips and dehydrated marshmallows and stir by hand with a rubber spatula to combine.
  4. Cover the mixer bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before baking.
  5. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  6. Drop 3 tablespoon sized dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten dough balls slightly with the palm of your hand.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and let cookies sit on the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Notes

Storage: Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
