The holiday season is here!

Time to break out the hot cocoa, fuzzy socks, and Christmas movies!

Today, I’m poppin’ in to share a recipe that is new to me and I am so excited to share. Hot Cocoa cookies are so yummy and decadent. They go great with coffee, milk, or hot cocoa!

I hope y’all enjoy this recipe and be sure to let me know if you try it out. Happy baking!

Ingredients:

1 Cup Softened Butter

2/3 Cup Brown Sugar

3/4 Cup Sugar

1 tsp of Vanilla Extract

2 eggs

3 cups of self rising flour

4 hot cocoa mix packets (I used Swiss Miss “Simply Cocoa” Mix)

1 (heaping) cup of white chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350F or 176C
Blend together softened butter and the two sugars together with an electric mixer
Add in eggs and vanilla then mix together with electric mixer
In a separate bowl, combine flour and hot cocoa mix. Use a whisk to blend them together.
Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. You can mix this with a spoon or a mixer – I used a mixer. Just be sure not to over mix!
Lastly, add in the white chocolate chips. I recommend using a spoon to mix these in instead of an electric mixer. This way they don’t get broken.
Cover bowl with aluminum foil/plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for 30-35 minutes. This makes a huge difference! The dough is much easier to work with after being chilled.
After dough has chilled, spoon dough onto a slightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake cookies in oven for 9-10 minutes or until slightly dark around the edges.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes then ENJOY! =)

This recipe is really simple and I bought a big 50 count box of hot cocoa mix so I am all stocked for these cookies! If you don’t have white chocolate chips, feel free to omit them or use whatever kind of chocolate chips you have!

This recipe makes a lot of cookies, too! I usually end up with at least 2-3 dozen! So, if you’re going to a holiday party or like to give cookies as gifts (like me), this recipe is a good one for you to try out.

Thanks for stopping by, friends! Have a great holiday!
