Delicious cookies made with instant hot chocolate drink mix and chocolate chip morsels.

I love incorporating ingredients into cookies that aren’t that common. The other day I was craving double chocolate chip cookies – just like my Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Unfortunately, I did not have any cocoa powder. Rather than scratching baking all together, I improvised and made my cookies using powdered hot chocolate mix! I’m here to tell you, they were super good and that you should give this recipe a try!

    What the heck is salad butter?

      Maybe it was supposed to say salted butter?

    I’m sure we’re supposed to add the chocolate chips at some point.

      I'm sure we're supposed to add the dissolved instant coffee at some point too.
