Hi Bold Bakers!
When it gets cold in the winter time, I love a big mug of Hot Chocolate. And since it’s the holidays, I’m all about cookies. This year instead of making one or the other, you can make Hot Chocolate Mug Cookies and even share them with a friend or loved one. This treat is designed for sharing, and sure to please, so lets get micro-baking!
How to make a Hot Chocolate Cookie in a mug
My Hot Chocolate Mug Cookies are really the best of both of these treats. Think chocolate cookie meets melted foamy marshmallows. Leave the store bought cookies where they are, and surprise that special person in your life with this perfect treat. Combine a few ingredients you most likely already have, to create the chocolate cookie part of this mug cookie. Then, just as with hot chocolate, top this mug cookie with mini marshmallows and microwave for just one minute.
Do marshmallow melt in the microwave?
The best part of this Hot Chocolate Cookie in a mug is obviously the generous amount of melted toasted marshmallows that top the whole thing off. Marshmallows melt perfectly in the microwave creating that warm fluffy marshmallow fluff texture we all know and love in a hot chocolate.
You will not believe how good these Hot Chocolate Mug Cookies are and the best part is that this recipe is designed for sharing. This is the perfect little dessert to end any holiday celebration so I can’t wait for you to give it a try!
