Hot Cocoa Cookies
- 12 cup unsalted butter
- 7 (3 1/2 ounce) bars semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 12 cups flour
- 14 cup unsweetended cocoa powder
- 1 12 teaspoons baking powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 14 cups packed light brown sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 12 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 30 marshmallows
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring frequently, over medium heat.
- Let cool 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla at low speed until smooth- about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the cool chocolate mixture just until blended.
- Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
- Arrange about 16 balls 2 inches apart on each cookie sheet & flatten slightly.
- Bake until tops are slightly cracked - about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, snip 8 marshmallows in half crosswise and stick one square of chocolate onto each of the cut sides.
- Remove the cookie sheets from the oven; gently press a marshmallow half, chocolate side down, into the cookie.
- Bake until the marshmallows soften - about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the pans to racks to cool for about 5 minutes; grate remaining chocolate over the hot cookies.
- Using a spatula, transfer cookies to the racks and let cool.
- Repeating the process with the remaining dough, marshmallows and chocolate, just make sure you use a clean sheet of parchment when baking each batch.
