Hot chocolate cookies

 Treat making is still going strong at my house.  Actually I am completely behind in the treat making game this year.  I just started!  I have a list of yummy treats I usually make, along with a list of new recipes I want to try.  Some are amazing (like this recipe today), while others are not so great.  If you recall my post here, you would understand why I knew I HAD to make these.  They make a perfect treat to take to my little boy's teachers (he has 4!). Again, my friend Kadie pulled through!  She is a fabulous cook with some really great recipes!

I am giving some away and saving the rest to give to Santa this year.  I think he would really enjoy these cookies ;)

Hot Chocolate Cookies

2 sticks butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

3 1/4 cups flour

4 packages (1 ounce each, NOT sugar free) Hot chocolate mix

1 t salt

1 1/4 baking soda

1/2 t cinnamon (optional)

1 cup each milk, semi-sweet and white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, hot chocolate mix, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry to the wet in 3 or 4 parts, mixing after each. Stir in the chips. Chill dough for about 1 hour. Roll dough into balls and place onto a cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on pan for a few minutes before removing.  They will flatten once they cool. 

NOTE: I didn’t have semi sweet chocolate chips, but I had white swirled with semi-sweet, so I used those instead.  I think as long as you use white along with two other kinds of chocolate chips they will taste great.
