Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Whisk dry ingredients together for cookies in one bowl
Whisk wet ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add dry ingredients and stir. Cover and set dough in the fridge for 30-60 min
Roll dough into balls, place on parchment paper at least an inch apart, and bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes
They make look undercooked, but will continue to crisp up a bit as they cool
Chill a large mixing bowl
Make whipped topping by using a stand or hand mixer to whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and hot cocoa & chocolate protein powder (I used just ingredients brand for both to keep the ingredients clean), and vanilla. You'll need to mix for about 6-8 minuets. If using a hand mixer take a break after 4-5 minutes and place in the freezer as it will help it thicken
Continue whipping until thick whipped cream texture is achieved
Place in a piping bag and pipe onto cookies and top with marshmallows of choice! My homemade marshmallows cut into tiny pieces would be perfect!
