The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2011!

This was the most wonderful event for the most wonderful time of the year!!! Julie from The Little Kitchen and Lindsay from Love & Olive Oil created this event & wow!!!!  625 bloggers joined in! Our allergies were taken into account & we all received 3 different cookies & sent out a dozen cookies to three different bloggers. The result?! I could not wait for the mail! LOL IT was very like Christmas. I decided to make... Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows COOKIES!!! So good! I tweaked a Double Chocolate Cookie recipe I've made for ages until it tasted like Hot Cocoa. & in return, got 3 delicious cookies. 


Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows Cookies

  • 1  cup a-p flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Fluff

Heat oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, & baking soda; set aside.
Using the paddle attachment of the mixer, combine the room temperature butter, sugar, eggs, & vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in the chocolate chips. Then slowly fold in the marshmallow fluff- just enough so that it is swirled into the mixture.
Drop mounds of the dough (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until firm around the edges , 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  2. Your cookies were absolutely DELICIOUS, and they disappeared so quickly, I am sure that I'll have to bake up a few batches to share with others this holiday! My recipe can be found on my site at www.itsyummi.com (I moved my site and no longer use the address you noted in your blog post)
