These hot chocolate cookies are so delightful! They're made with real hot chocolate mix, along with some extra melted bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate chips. I like adding a little espresso powder to my chocolate desserts, so there's some of that in there too. It doesn't make the cookies taste like coffee, it just amplifies the chocolate taste in wondrous, beautiful ways. If you're feeling adventurous, you can (carefully) lightly brown the marshmallows with a kitchen torch to give it a toasty topping. These Christmas cookies are so cute on a cookie plate for Santa, and they're great with a big glass of milk.
