One of my favorite things at Christmastime is homemade hot chocolate with a candy cane and lots of marshmallows. This cookie has the flavor of a perfect cup of cocoa with peppermint and a gooey marshmallow center. They are super easy to make too. I hope you get a chance to try these soon and share them with your family and friends around the Christmas tree.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
We love the intense chocolate and mint flavors in this chocolate cookie. It really is like hot chocolate in cookie form. They're soft and chewy. We highly recommend enjoying them warm out of the oven while the marshmallows are at prime gooeyness. Chocolaty-minty goodness.
