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!

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