Yes, cows wear jackets too!<\/p>\n<p>With a busy baking season ahead, you can guarantee that farmers are working overtime to meet the demands of dairy products needed to fill up your fridges and tables, especially when the temperatures drop, and it\u2019s time to bust out some hot chocolate (always make it with milk for a creamier taste!). Farms are among some of the vital businesses that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drink-milk.com\/about-dairy-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">operate 365 days a year<\/a>, including holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Grab a mug of hot chocolate and let\u2019s get baking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Looking for the perfect winter dessert?

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Melt and cool the butter for a few minutes. Combine the melted butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, stir to combine and add the dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until the dough starts to form. Before the dough thickens, add the chocolate chips and finish mixing with a spatula.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Scoop the dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop\u00a0and place on a baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Quickly remove from the oven and place a large marshmallow into the center of each cookie. Return to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes (total bake time 10-12 minutes).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Remove from the oven and gently push down the marshmallow in the center. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Finely chop the chocolate bar into small pieces, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Microwave for 20 seconds, but at 50% power and stir until the remaining chocolate is melted. If needed, an additional 10-15 seconds in the microwave at 50% power until the chocolate is melted and smooth.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Using a spoon, place a dollop of chocolate over the marshmallow and use the back of the spoon to push it to the sides or gently shake the cookie. Then allow the chocolate to set completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #000000 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n<h4>Ingredients notes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 16px\">Cocoa Powder- <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">I prefer using Hershey\u2019s Special Dark Cocoa powder for its rich flavor and dark color, you can also use a natural cocoa powder<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot chocolate powdered mix- <\/strong>I recommend a high-quality hot chocolate mix<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate chips- <\/strong>Use your favorite kind<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marshmallows- <\/strong>Regular-sized marshmallows, Jet-Puffed or similar works great<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark chocolate bar- <\/strong>My go-to is Ghirardelli 60% cocoa dark chocolate.
