Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Stand mixer (preferred) or hand mixer
  • mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa

For the Cheesecake

  • 32 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 3 to 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 packages of Hot Cocoa Mix

For the topping

  • 2 package of Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 ½ packages of Hot Cocoa Mix

Instructions

  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, using the Whisk attachment, add the Butter, Sugar, Vanilla, and Egg, and blend until light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, add the Flour, Baking Powder, and Cocoa, and stir well to blend.
  • Add the Flour mixture a little at a time and mix on low to blend, until all the Flour is added.
  • Continue to blend the Cookie dough until it's completely blended and a smooth ball starts to form.
  • Scrape down the mixing bowl as needed.
  • Line the bottom of an 8 X 11 inch pan with Parchment paper, and press the Cookie Dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cookie dough begins to turn golden brown around the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the softened Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Lemon Juice, and Heavy Cream, and mix with the whisk attachment until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the Powdered Sugar, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Add the Hot Cocoa Mix (I used Swiss Miss) and mix until blended.
  • When the Cookie dough is cool, pour the Cheesecake filling on top of the Cookie Dough, filling the dish.
  • Smooth out evenly, and place Mini Marshmallows on the top, then sprinkle the Hot Cocoa Mix on top of the Cheesecake Filling, and Marshmallows.
  • Place the pan in the refrigerator overnight, or 24 hours for best results.
  • Cut in 3 X 3 inch pieces, serve, and Enjoy!
