Hot Chocolate Cookies

Gather your ingredients….

See directions below. * Hint: don’t put the mallow bits in the dough until it’s time to bake. Chill dough minus mallow bits.

When you scoop and form the balls, press desired amount of mallow bits into each cookie dough ball. It’s worth the extra work.
