Hot Chocolate Cookies
 
Who doesn’t love hot chocolate in the winter? It’s a perfect drink to compliment a cold winter night snuggling under blankets with the family. These Hot Chocolate Cookies are a play off of the sweet drink. Adorned with tiny marshmallows, the cookies are easy to make and kids will love indulging in them. This is especially true for younger kids who are not yet ready to sip on hot coco.
