My apologies
Firstly, I want to apologize that this did not get posted December 19th, as promised. The holidays got BUSY around here, so I simply never got around to it.
A little about these Hot Cocoa Cookies
Anyways…this cookie was a favorite in my house! The toddler LOVED that it had marshmallows and the husband (who isn’t a dark chocolate or marshmallow fan) had them gone before I could get a photo for the bloggy…in fact, I took the last two from him so I could snap a quick photo.
Chef’s notes for Hot Cocoa Cookies
These are super gooey and have a rich chocolatey flavor. I like dark chocolate- and this one has more of a dark chocolate flavor than most. So, if you like more of a milk chocolate flavor, cut the cocoa powder to 1/3 cup.
