Single-Serve Hot Cocoa Cookie (Gluten Free, Vegan)

Hot cocoa is one of the best drinks for colder weather, but have you tried it in cookie form?

This single-serve cookie is SUPER rich, chocolatey, and perfect for the holidays! It’s extremely easy to make and is the perfect sweet tooth snack and treat.

See my video tutorial HERE.

This dough is really easy to mix up and made with simple, whole ingredients that help make the baked cookie SO soft! It tastes like you used a traditional hot cocoa mix, but we’re all about the better-for-you ingredients here 😉.

Cocoa actually is high in antioxidants which can help lower inflammation in the body. It also contains magnesium which is very supportive of the body and can even help with sleep. New bedtime snack, anyone??

One of my favorite parts of this recipe is the toppings! Completely optional, but I LOVE adding melted chocolate, crushed candy canes, and marshmallows. Everything I would put in a big cup of cocoa!

What you’ll need to make this Single-Serve Hot Cocoa Cookie:

• Gluten free flour – I use Bob Red Mill’s 1:1 Gluten Free Flour.
• Cashew butter – or any nut / seed butter.
• Sweetener – I used organic cane sugar.
• Cacao / cocoa powder – unsweetened.
• Milk of choice
• Sea salt
• Baking powder
