Equipment

  • handheld mixer
  • baking sheets
  • Bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup hot cocoa mix
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 12 marshmallows halved

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon steaming hot water
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
 

Cookie Preparation

  • In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until creamy and combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Beat in baking soda.
  • Add flour, hot cocoa mix, and cocoa powder and beat until mixture is soft and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment. Scoop 1 ½ Tbsp. balls, arranging 8 balls on each prepared sheet, spacing about 2" apart.
  • Working one sheet at a time, bake cookies until puffy and matte on top, about 8 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and place half a marshmallow, cut side down, into the center of the cookie, pressing marshmallow down so cookie slightly cracks.
  • Continue to bake until marshmallow is slightly melted, about 2 minutes more. Using a small spoon, lightly press marshmallow down to encourage it to slightly spread. Repeat with remaining baking sheets.

Glaze Preparation

  • In a small bowl, whisk butter, cocoa powder, salt, and steaming hot water until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and whisk until no lumps remain.
  • Spoon glaze over top of cookies. If glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit of water to loosen. If it seems too thin, let cool for 1 minute, then try again.
