Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats.
  • Using a standing mixer, beat together the butter, both sugars, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda.

  • Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the dough, roll into a ball with your hands, then place on prepared sheet. Gently press down to flatten the top. You want the cookies to be a thick disc-shape.

To Make the Frosting

While making the frosting, place cookies in the fridge to chill.

Use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and whipping cream until well combined and the frosting is able to hold a peak. Scoop into a piping bag.

To Decorate

Pipe the frosting in a spiral on top of chilled cookies, starting in the center and working your way out to the edges of the cookie. Top with mini marshmallows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do These Cookies Need to be Refrigerated?

No, these cookies do not require refrigeration. However, because they are “frozen” hot chocolate cookies, we always chill the cookies before serving.

You CAN keep them in the fridge, but I would recommend storing in an airtight container to ensure that the cookies do not absorb any moisture from other foods in the refrigerator.
