With Thanksgiving behind us, and my parents safely headed back to South Carolina, it’s time for Christmas baking central to be open for business. I have a feeling I could bake all day every day and still not get done everything that I want to.

 

I’ve already started the candy making, and I need to gift these turtles before they disappear, but this is my first official batch of Christmas cookies. Since the flourless mint chocolate cookies were such a hit with the kids, I wanted to try another flourelss cookie; that fudgy center is hard to beat.

These hot cocoa cookies are a cinch to get together. I just swapped hot cocoa mix for the cocoa powder in the original recipe, and well hot cocoa needs marshmallow, so I added a cup of marshmallow bits.

** the marshmallow bits are sticky so even if you use a silpat mat or parchment paper, you will still want to butter the mats or paper a bit

Add all the ingredients to a bowl; you can even get crazy and add them out of order, it doesn’t matter a bit! Mix, scoop, and bake; NO chilling, NO rolling, NO cutting No frosting, I am SO not good at the frosting

making these my new favorite for holiday baking

easy is GOOD
