Hot Chocolate Cookies

These easy to make cookies get their flavor from powdered hot cocoa mix. Butter and sugar are beaten with eggs and vanilla. Then flour, hot cocoa mix, salt, baking soda and baking powder are mixed into the dough. Next, chocolate chips are folded into the dough before refrigerating for 30 min. Mallow bits are added to the dough before shaping and baking. These delicious cookies taste just like hot chocolate, perfect for a cold winter day.
