Cocoa cookie recipe with cocoa powder in 2023
These soft cocoa cookie are almost like mini cakes. I like to make them very small, but you can make them bigger if you like.The perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, these Hot Cocoa Cookies combine super chocolatey cookies with mini marshmallows into soft, chewy ones. If you make these cookies in your home try these ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cup 207g all-purpose flour (*see notes below)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp espresso/instant coffee powder optional but recommended
- ⅓ cup + ¼ cup 53g cocoa powder (preferably Dutch processed)
- ¾ cup 168g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cup 175g light brown sugar
- 1 medium whole egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- white sugar for coating about 1/3 cup or 70g
Instructions
- Butter:
- I use unsalted butter, but you can use salted and reduce the amount of salt. You’ll also want to make sure it’s soft.
- Sugar:
- I use all granulated sugar for this recipe. I think the sugar also helps give it that hot cocoa feel.
- Eggs:
- You will need large eggs.
- cocoa cookie
- Vanilla:
- I’m always a fan of real vanilla extract, not imitation.
- Flour:
- You will need all-purpose flour. I have not tried these cookies with any other flour.
- Cocoa Powder:
- I use regular unsweetened cocoa powder, not Dutch processed. I love the Hershey’s brand.
- Baking Soda:
- To help give the cookies some lift.
- Salt:
- To balance flavors.
- Marshmallow Bits:
- These aren’t mini marshmallows they’re mini freeze-dried marshmallows like you’d find in hot cocoa. I can usually find them at my grocery store (craft brand), but I’ve been having a hard time finding them lately. This last time I ordered them online and they were reasonably priced.
- Mini Chocolate Chips:
- Mini chocolate chips work best so that there is a little burst of chocolate with each bite.
