These scrumptious cookies are laced with white hot chocolate. They are perfect
for dunking, but they are fabulous on their own as well.

We originally shared this recipe in January of 2016.
MiMi, Little Dude, and I had gone on a hot chocolate bender.

We made several batches of
hot chocolate mix, white hot chocolate mix and fun
marshmallows too. We made cute jars and gifted them to everyone.
We enjoyed mug after mug of cocoa. But as hard as it is
to believe, we may have made a little bit much.
Of course we couldn't let any go to waste. So MiMi
whipped up some cookies using some of the white hot chocolate mix.

If you think about it, it's really perfect. Adding milk
powder to cookies is supposed to help give them a yummy texture and deep
creamy flavor.
It also adds great white chocolate flavor throughout.
MiMi added those tiny little dehydrated marshmallows to hers.
You know, the kind that you find in the packets of hot
chocolate or in cereals. Of course they were a perfect addition to these
cookies.

I didn't have any on hand, so I used white
chocolate chips instead. They are delicious both ways!
I have not made them with regular hot chocolate
mix, but I can imagine they would be lovely that way as well. It would likely
give a nice mild chocolate flavor throughout.
Luckily the dough comes together really quickly and
doesn't require chilling. So you can bake up a batch in no time.

We use a small cookie scoop and get about 70
cookies. So they are perfect for baking and sharing.
They also freeze well. So you can save some for a
quick sweet treat later on.
I wouldn't be surprised if you like them so much
that you end up making extra hot chocolate mix just for turning into cookies.
They really are that good!

Mimi's original post from 2015:
This is another recipe inspired by the hot chocolate mixes that we
made and shared during hot chocolate week here on the blog. To say I had
fun coming up with recipes to use the mixes in might be a bit of an
understatement, but everybody sure enjoyed trying the new treats.
