20-Min Fudgey Hot Cocoa Christmas Cookies
Gluten Free Hot Cocoa Cookies are soft and chewy chocolate cookies topped with small, gooey marshmallows.
Prep: 10 minCook: 12 minTotal: 22 min
Servings: 20 cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (How to Melt Chocolate Chips in 5 Minutes)
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (Cacao v. Cocoa Powder: What’s the Difference?)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup small marshmallows
- 1 tablespoon chopped chocolate for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the coconut sugar and eggs to the bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Chill for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use two tablespoons or a cookie scooper to drop 8 balls onto the baking sheet. The cookie dough is pretty sticky so I found it easiest to use a cookie scooper to get round cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven, press 3 marshmallows on the top of each cookie and bake for another 4 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Sprinkle with some chopped chocolate and enjoy!
