It’s day two of cookie week and this recipe is a fun one. Take a chocolate chip cookie, then use 3 kinds of chocolate chips in it and mix in some hot cocoa mix. That is basically what today’s recipe is. I found it over on Tasty Kitchen from The Little Things I Find or Do. I loved the idea of mixing the hot cocoa mix into the cookie dough. It gives it a light chocolaty taste. Plus 3 kinds of chocolate chips brings the cookie to an even better level.
My husband and boys thought these cookies rocked. My hubby even compared them to a Mrs. Field’s cookie. Just don’t refrigerated the dough too long. I left it in the fridge for a few hours and it was hard as a rock. Too hard to scoop up. Then be sure to not over cook these babies. I checked on a batch and they need to cook a little longer and then I forgot the cookies were still cooking after a few minutes, NOT GOOD. They turn out really crisp.

Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 2 sticks Salted Butter- At Room Temperature
- 1 cup White Granulated Sugar
- ⅔ cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla
- 3-¼ cups All-purpose Flour
- 4 packages (1 Oz. Packets, NOT Sugar-free) Hot Chocolate Mix
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1-¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients in 3 to 4 parts, making sure all is incorporated.
- Fold in chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to hour to firm up the dough. (Don’t go too long of the dough will turn out hard as a rock, I learned this by experience).
- Use a 1/4 cup as a scoop (or ice cream scoop) to scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. (I pressed the dough a little to help flatten it out.) Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

These may be my family’s new favorite cookies! I saw these on here and again on Your Homebased Mom and decided to try them for January book club. They were a big hit, and I’ve made them twice more since. This last time I used peanut butter chips and white chips instead of the choc chips, and they are really good that way, too! Thanks so much for another great recipe!!
I made these cookies tonight & my family LOVES them!
