I saw these cookies on another blog a while ago and thought about making them sometime. Yesterday I whipped them up for our Family Home Evening treat. The kids loved them, especially since they have hot chocolate mix in them. We've been drinking a lot of hot chocolate lately.
I think it's funny that I found this recipe that has hot chocolate in them. A year or so ago, I was away from home for a meeting or something. While I was gone my hubby and kids made some brownies. My hubby didn't know where the cocoa was, so he used hot chocolate mix instead. The brownies turned out great and were really yummy! Maybe he should have blogged about it.
Hot Chocolate Cookies

1 c. white sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/4 c. flour
4 packages (1 oz. packets, NOT sugar-free) hot chocolate mix
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. milk chocolate chips
1 c. white chocolate chips
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, combinef lour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients in 3 to 4 parts, making sure all is incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for 30 minutes to firm up dough.
Scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9 - 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
* I only used semi-sweet chocolate chips since that's all I had on hand. And I didn't chill the dough and the cookies turned out just fine.
