Beat in baking soda.<br \/>\nAdd flour, hot cocoa mix, and cocoa powder and beat until mixture is soft and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.<br \/>\nArrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375\u00b0. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment (if you only have 2, that&#8217;s fine, too!) Scoop 1 1\/2 Tbsp. balls (about 30 g. or roughly the size of a ping-pong ball). Arrange 8 balls on each prepared sheet, spacing about 2&#8243; apart. If working with only 2 baking sheets, reserve 8 balls in cookie dough bowl.<br \/>\nWorking one sheet at a time, bake cookies until puffy and matte on top, about 8 minutes. Remove sheet from oven. Place half a marshmallow, cut side down, into the center of the cookie, pressing marshmallow down so cookie slightly cracks.<br \/>\nContinue to bake until marshmallow is slightly melted, about 2 minutes more. Using a small spoon, lightly press marshmallow down to encourage it to slightly spread. Repeat with remaining baking sheets, relining cooled baking sheets with parchment paper as necessary.<br \/>\n<strong>Glaze<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a small bowl, whisk butter, cocoa powder, salt, and 2 Tbsp. steaming hot water until smooth. Add confectioners\u2019 sugar and whisk until no lumps remain.<br \/>\nSpoon glaze over top of cookies. If glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit of water to loosen. If it seems too thin, let cool for 1 minute, then try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Ingredients Cookies 1\/2\u00a0cup\u00a0(1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1\/2\u00a0cup\u00a0(107 g.) packed light brown sugar 1\/4\u00a0cup\u00a0(50 g.) granulated sugar 1\/2\u00a0tsp.\u00a0kosher salt 1\u00a0large egg 1\u00a0tsp.\u00a0pure vanilla extract &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2562"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2565,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2562\/revisions\/2565"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
