Hot Chocolate Cookies

These should come with a warning that says “warning, you won’t be able to stop eating them” they are sensational I tell you!! To make the dough in advance, scoop out onto a baking sheet and freeze, when ready to bake, allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes then add 2 minutes of baking time to your total time (should be 10 minutes ) and they are perfect! I have not used a hot chocolate replacement so can’t advise on that. Please remember these kinds of videos are in ADDITION to normal content! xo

Yields about 4 dozen
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened at room temp
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp of vanilla
3 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of salt
4 packs of Swiss miss hot chocolate (the milk chocolate)
2 tbsp of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup of mallow bits
1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup of chopped (well chopped or just more chocolate chips)

Scoop with a cookie scoop and bake on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at 375 for 8 minutes on the lower third and upper third of your oven!

What I REALLY appreciate about Laura's recipes is that, even though she always encourages us to use what we have and that "the world is your pickle, " she WILL tell us if there's a neccessary ingredient that you can't change. In this case, it's the marshmallows!

I miss the “hi guys! It’s Laura Vitaleeee”

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Laura!

Best cookies ever!
I am in Australia, so I used Cadbury drinking chocolate, 154g. Also, you can dehydrate marshmallows, so I did that the day before! Worth the work!

Question: your last ingredient: "2/3 cup of chopped (well chopped or just more chocolate chips)" is unclear. Is it walnuts or other nuts? I didn't think I saw nuts in the video. Thanks

just in time for a new batch for cookie trade days!

Do the marshmallows that come with the Swiss miss marshmallow lovers packets count as dehydrated?
