1. First make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease and line a large baking sheet
2. Place the ingredients into a blender blender and pulse quite a few times to help break down the oats and so the mixture comes together. Roll into a large bowl then tip out onto a floured surface and roll out. Cut into small tree and gingerbread men shapes (note: this quantity will make plenty of biscuits!) and place on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and leave to cool.
3. Gently melt the coconut oil and chocolate then decorate your cookies by spooning over a little chocolate over and adding sprinkles on top, as well as a little edible glitter if you wish. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. Now make the hot chocolate: Heat your milk of choice then whisk in chocolate disk(s) for a minute or two until totally melted and add the cinnamon.
5. Pour into a glass or mason jar, top with the marshmallows and add a couple of cookies on top, they will all melt deliciously into your hot chocolate for extra richness!
