Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine brownie mix, eggs, olive oil and flour. Take one tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball in your hand. Place about two inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for five minutes, then open the oven and add marshmallows on top of the cookies. Make sure they are stuck well, and bake for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack using a cookie spatula.

Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of cookies once they cool.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Marshmallow Magic 🔥
Toast marshmallows lightly before adding to the cookies for a deeper, caramelized flavor that mimics hot cocoa's signature taste.
Brownie Mix Brilliance 🍫
Sift the brownie mix before combining with other ingredients to eliminate any lumps and ensure a smoother, more consistent cookie texture.
Oil Incorporation Technique 💧
Slowly drizzle olive oil while mixing to create a more emulsified batter that results in softer, more tender cookies.
Cocoa Powder Pro Tip 🥣
Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor that truly captures the essence of hot cocoa.
Chill and Shape ❄️
Refrigerate the cookie dough for 15 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading and create more defined, picture-perfect cookies.
