Hot Chocolate Cookies

For my 3rd post I decided to make hot chocolate cookies. As you already know the weather is changing and  it's been getting really cold. Hot chocolate are the best winter drinks to stay warm in the winter. So why not make it into a cookie! Everyone loves hot chocolate, "Hot chocolate is one of my favorite drinks, and it's even better in cookie form. I came up with the idea when I was stuck outside in the cold waiting for a delayed train on a winter night" (Thomas 86).

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup hot chocolate mix
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mini marshmallows (Thomas)

Procedures

• Preheat the oven to 350*F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, hot chocolate mix, salt, and baking soda.
• Cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla and mix. Slowly add flour to the mixture.
• Roll the dough into balls and place them on the tray,
• After taking out the cookies place marshmallows on top and it will start to melt on top of the cookies. (Thomas)

Overall, the cookies were pretty good. I'll have to say these aren't really my favorite. As you can see in the picture the cookies was kind of dry. The cookie never vent flat. It was more of a dome shape. I followed the direction and measurement, but it went dry and dome shape. The overall flavoring of the cookie was really good.

Do you guys have any tips on making the cookies flat and not a dome shape?
