Ingredients

  • 8 (1 ounce) envelopes instant hot cocoa mix

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Marshmallow Glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • 5 large marshmallows

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine hot cocoa mix, 1/2 cup butter, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, and salt gradually; mix well. Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are dry, about 8 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  4. Mix confectioners' sugar and milk together in a small bowl.

  5. Combine marshmallows and 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until marshmallows melt, about 30 seconds. Stir into confectioners' sugar mixture with a fork until smooth.

  6. Drizzle marshmallow glaze over cooled cookies. Let stand until set, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Substitute 1 handful mini marshmallows for the big marshmallows if preferred.
