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.
