Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are crisp and center is set.Optional for bakery style: Immediately after you take them out of the oven, turn a glass upside down and roll around the edges to make the cookie perfectly round with defined edges.

Notes
Makes approx 36 cookies.Ingredient notes:
You can use whatever brand of hot cocoa mix you like! I used Swiss Miss here, but you can use any brand with great results. The cookies will favor the flavor of the hot chocolate mix, so make sure to grab a brand you love!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to use marshmallow bits, not mini marshmallows. Marshmallow bits taste like marshmallows but they are smaller and not as soft. These will not melt in the oven while baking, where regular marshmallows can. You can find marshmallow bits on the baking aisle in most stores.
