Hot Chocolate Cookies with Toasty Marshmallows
Makes about 24
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 large egg
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup dry milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 12 large marshmallows, halved crosswise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and ⅔ cup sugar with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add egg, beating until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, dry milk, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until well combined. Beat in vanilla.
- In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and remaining ⅓ cup sugar. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in cinnamon sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared pans.
- Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Working quickly, press 1 marshmallow half, cut side down, in center of each cookie. Increase oven temperature to broil. Watching carefully, broil 5 inches from heat until marshmallows are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
