Hot Cocoa Crinkle Cookies

As I said in my video for this entry, I've decided to challenge myself to make a goodie a day until Christmas. I'm going to be sharing these, as we cannot possibly eat this much ourselves lol! Anyway, today, for the first entry, I was inspired by these morsels I found during a recent trip to Aldi: hot cocoa and marshmallow morsels. (They are available elsewhere, too.) And this is the recipe on the bag. It's very yummy, 10/10 :) highly recommend you try these!

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

160g (1 1/3 c.) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. powdered cocoa (baking type, not hot chocolate mix type)
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened/room temp
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1/2 T. vanilla extract
1 pkg. (9 oz) hot cocoa & marshmallow morsels
~ 1 c. powdered sugar (I didn't measure; this is just for coating the dough balls)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat/cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. Gradually mix in the reserved flour mixture.

6. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the morsels by hand.

7. Put the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Form the dough into Tablespoon-sized balls, then roll them to coat in the powdered sugar. Place on a baking sheet, spacing 2" apart.

8. Bake for 10-12 min, until edges are done and centers are just set. Upon removing from the oven, let them cool for 2 min. on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
