Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour spoon and leveled
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 (1.38 oz) packets hot chocolate mix I used Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate, but use your favorite!
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips I used semi-sweet, but use any flavor you’d like
  • 32 Dove Milk Chocolate Promises or flavor of choice
  • 32 large marshmallows

Instructions

  • Place butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a large bowl, then whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk in eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Fold in flour, cocoa powder, hot chocolate, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Line 4 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out 32 dough balls — place 8 onto each prepared baking sheet.
  • Optional - chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies from spreading.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then baked the dough balls for 12-15 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from oven and turn the oven to broil.
  • Top each cookie with 1 dove chocolate and 1 marshmallow (you may need to press down gently, but firmly to get the marshmallow to stay on the cookie).
  • Broil on the middle rack until the marshmallow is golden brown, about 30-60 seconds (time varies depending on how hot your broiler is).
  • Remove from oven, then use your fingers to gently squish the toasted marshmallow to flatten slightly and enjoy warm!
