Festive Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups
These cookie cups are made from a soft chocolate cookie base that holds a warm, gooey chocolate filling. Topped with mini marshmallows, they are baked until perfectly toasted. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 cookie cups.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Form Cookie Cups: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each muffin tin cavity, pressing down to form a cup shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately press a few mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie cup.
- Cool: Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
