I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

This may be my new favorite cookie.  Marshmallows are not in  the normal recipe, but I like to add them for my granddaughter.   You can use just one type of chocolate chips if you prefer.  I don't use the cayenne pepper, but only because the little ones prefer it not too spicy.
