Hot Chocolate Cookies

The Hot Chocolate Cookies are soft and delicious! Enjoy the creamy taste of hot chocolate in cookie form! These cookies are made with hot chocolate mix right in the dough! Each cookie is loaded with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to complete the cookie. Just like hot chocolate these Hot Chocolate Cookies are perfect for any chilly day!

But really perfect for any time of the year!

I love having homemade cookies in the cookie jar. For a sweet treat or a little snack for the kids. These have become my kiddos favorite cookies. They love hot chocolate and love it in cookie form also!

These cookies are really easy to make. The dough is a basic cookie dough and hot chocolate mix is simply added into it. They aren't overly chocolatey but just the right amount for that hot chocolate taste!

Use chocolate chip or chocolate chunks. I used a combination of regular chocolate chips and also the mini ones.

When it comes to the hot chocolate, use any brand you'd like. I used the Swiss Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows. You add the packets directly into the cookie mix.

Scoop out your cookie dough out on the pan. I love using my Small Scoop for scooping out the right amount of dough for baking up cookies.

Top the cookies with a few more Mallow Bits. Either use these Mallow Bits or the dehydrated marshmallows that are in the hot chocolate mix.

After they are baked, let them cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy the mild, but delicious hot chocolate flavor with the super soft centers and slightly crisp edges. Yummy hot chocolate in cookie form, Hot Chocolate Cookies.
