Description

These Hot Chocolate Cookies are a fun and delicious twist on a classic treat. Made with a cake mix, they’re soft, chewy, and topped with a gooey marshmallow and a drizzle of chocolate, reminiscent of a cup of hot chocolate.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil’s food cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • Marshmallows (large size)
  • 1/21 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Make Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, and canola oil. Mix until well combined. The dough will be thick.
  2. Shape and Bake: Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  3. Add Marshmallows: While the cookies are baking, cut marshmallows in half widthwise. Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a marshmallow half, cut-side down, onto each cookie.
  4. Broil: Broil cookies for a minute or two, watching closely, until marshmallows are golden brown and puffed.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies.
  6. Cool: Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • Cake Mix: You can use any brand of Devil’s food cake mix.
  • Marshmallows: Use large marshmallows for the best results.
  • Chocolate: Use your preferred type of chocolate for drizzling.
  • Make Ahead: The cookie dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
