Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

Not all cookies are created equal, and this chocolatey showstopper is definitely a standout.

With flavours of cinnamon, chocolate, and ancho chilli, these cookies are a nod to the delicious beverage that is Mexican hot chocolate, a rich and creamy decadence with a slight kick of heat. The toasted marshmallow on top adds the perfect amount of sweetness to complement these rich and spicy treats!

    6. Scoop the cookies into 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets. Chill for 20 minutes.

    8. Bake for about 10 minutes, making sure the edges are baked but the center is still soft.
    9. Cool for about 5 minutes, place a marshmallow on top of each cookie. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallow, if you do not have a torch, broil in the oven for about 3 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown. Cool another 10 mintues and enjoy!
