Hot Cocoa Cookies

Hot cocoa cookies are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they taste just like a delicious cup of steaming hot chocolate.

You actually use hot cocoa powder in the mix, which explains both the name and the flavor.

With the addition of marshmallow bits, hot cocoa cookies look as exciting as they taste!
