Hot Chocolate Cookies
Serves : 12 -18
Do you love someone enough to give them your last Rolo? Soft chewy hot chocolate cookies, with a gooey marshmallow and a melty chocolate caramel topping them off.
Ingredients
- 250 g Unsalted Butter cubed
- 350 g Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 350 g Plain Flour
- 100 g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 12-18 Marshmallows
- 12-18 Rolos or chocolate caramel candy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F
- Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment
- In a stand mixer bowl, add the butter, sugar and salt and beat together until light and fluffy. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer
- Sieve the flour and the cocoa powder into the butter mixture, and gently mix together until everything combines to a smooth dough
- Divide the dough into equal balls, about 1 inch/ 2.5cm across. You should get about 12-18 balls from the dough.
- Place the dough balls on the lined baking sheets leaving about 2 inches between the balls to allow the cookies to spread as they bake
- Using the back of a teaspoon or a melon baller, or a 'clean' thumb, press down in the centre of the dough balls to flatten and indent them. This is where we will put the marshmallows
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes
- Add the marshmallows on top of the cookies in the indents, and bake for another 4 minutes
- Remove the cookies from the oven and add a Rolo into the melted marshmallows
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack, then share them with the one you love or keep them all to yourself
Notes
Cookies will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.
Once you've made the dough, if you're not ready to make your cookies, you can wrap the dough up in clingfilm and pop it in the fridge, up to 2 days. Or you can freeze it up to a month, just remember to let it defrost before making your cookies.
Leave out the cocoa powder and add 1 tsp of vanilla extract for vanilla cookies, or add additional chocolate chips.
If you want more chocolate, pop a chunk of chocolate underneath the marshmallow when you add them to the cookies.
If you are unable to get Rolos, you an use any other caramel-filled chocolate candy. Make sure it's a runny caramel filling rather than a hard toffee.
