Hot Cocoa Cookies Recipe

This time of year, nothing warms you up quite like a cup of hot cocoa. A few days ago I shared a delicious hot cocoa recipe, but the one I’m sharing today is a little different- because you can eat it!

These hot cocoa cookies are a delicious and easy treat that will bring a smile to anyone’s face. They use cake mix to make them extra soft, and even have marshmallows in them because no hot cocoa is complete without marshmallows!
