Hot cocoa cookies are exactly what I love to bake when I want a cookie that feels like a mug of hot chocolate in dessert form, complete with gooey marshmallows and rich chocolate icing. These fudgy, brownie-style cookies use melted semi-sweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and a soft marshmallow topper so every bite tastes like cozy winter cocoa dressed up for the holidays.
Why You’ll Love These Hot Cocoa Cookies
This hot cocoa cookies recipe gives you soft, chewy centers, slightly crisp edges, and a melty marshmallow under a layer of chocolate icing that sets just enough to stack neatly. The combination of melted chocolate, cocoa, and brown sugar delivers deep hot-chocolate flavor, while the icing and sprinkles make these cookies stand out on any Christmas or cold-weather dessert tray. They’re perfect for cookie exchanges, snow-day baking with kids, or pairing with an actual mug of cocoa after dinner.
