Cooking Instructions
1.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour (2 3/4 cups) (plus 2 Tbps), Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1 Tbsp), Hot Chocolate Mix (2/3 cup), Corn Starch (2 Tbsp), Baking Soda (1 tsp) and Salt (1 tsp); set aside.
2.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the Unsalted Butter (1 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 cup) and Brown Sugar (1/2 cup) until well blended.
3.
Add in the Eggs (2) one at a time, then blend in Pure Vanilla Extract (2 tsp). Add half of the flour mixture at a time, and mix on low speed just until combined; add remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
4.
Stir in Milk Chocolate Chips (1 1/4 cups). Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5.
The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
6.
Scoop dough out and shape into balls, about 1-1/2 tablespoons for each cookie. Space cookies 3 inches apart on prepared pans.
7.
Bake one sheet at a time for about 11-12 minutes. Edges should be set (cookies will appear puffy and slightly under-baked).
8.
Remove from oven and immediately place 4 to 5 Mini Marshmallows (1 1/2 cups) on top of each cookie; return to oven and bake until marshmallows are slightly melted (about 1-1/2 minutes).
9.
Allow to cool on pans for 5 minutes. Cool cookies completely before proceeding to next step.
10.
Place Milk Chocolate Chips (1 cup) and Vegetable Oil (2 tsp) in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven in 30-second increments, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is melted; stir well to combine.
11.
Carefully drizzle melted chocolate on top of each cookie. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
