1+1/4 cup soft butter (2 and 1/2 sticks room temperature butter)
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/4 cups flour
4 packages Hot Chocolate Mix or 3/4 cup (not sugar free)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup Marshmallow Bits (you could substitute mini marshmallows)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with standing mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients, including your hot chocolate packets.

Add the dry ingredients a little at a time to your wet ingredients. I found that my dough was very dry – as in I had to almost knead it by hand to work in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.cover and chill 1 hour. 

Drop 2tbs 2 inches apart on to cookie sheets.The dough was dry, but the end result was fabulous.

Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Allow to cool for approximately five minutes then remove from cookie sheet. Enjoy!!!

**My notes: Had to cook my the full 11 minutes otherwise they were underbaked- that may be because mine were in the frig for over 1 & 1/2 hours !?
