Hot Chocolate Cookies

My wife found this recipe on Pinterest a couple of years ago.  It is my favourite Christmas baking she does, so I thought I would share.  As always...just kidding.

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/4 cups butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 4 packages (or 3/4 cups) hot cocoa mix
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup Mallow Bits 

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350°F. 
• Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with standing mixer until light and fluffy. 
• Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
• Combine next 4 ingredients. 
• Gradually beat into butter mixture until blended. 
• Stir in chocolate chips and Mallow Bits. 
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
• Drop 2 tablespoons dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets. 
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. 
• Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes; remove to wire racks and cool.

Note:
You could substitute mini marshmallows for Mallow Bits, though results will be slightly different
