Hot Cocoa Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a double boiler by filling a pot about halfway with water and place a heat-safe glass bowl over it. Bring the water to a light boil. Add the butter and chocolate chips and stir until melted. Remove from the stove and let cool for about 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and the salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, and the vanilla extract.  Mix in the cooled melted chocolate. Add the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, to the wet ingredients until everything is just combined. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and form into a 1-inch ball and place onto cookie sheet. Continue with remaining dough, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Use the back of a spoon to lightly flatten each cookie. Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
4. While the cookies are baking, cut each large marshmallow in half. Take a cut half square of the baking chocolate and press into the cut side of each marshmallow and set aside.
5. Once the cookies come out of the oven, press each marshmallow, chocolate side-down into each cookie. Stick the cookies back into the oven and continue baking for about 4-5 minutes until the marshmallows are soft. Remove from the oven. Take one of the chocolate squares and grate some of the chocolate on top of each cookie. Transfer to a cooling rack.
6. In order to reheat frozen cookies, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies for about 5-7 minutes until heated and marshmallows are lightly toasted.
