One Packet of Hot Chocolate Mix

Now that the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer, you may be wondering what to do with that last packet of Hot Chocolate Mix! I received this fun recipe from my friend Margaret Wahlstrom that I thought I would share it. It would be really fun to make with kids because it is SUPER easy, and doesn't take a lot of time.

Heat over to 375F.

3/4c. butter or margarine, softened

1/2c. sugar

1 egg yolk

Blend until creamy, then slowly add last two ingredients

1 1/2c. flour

1 packet (around 1 1/4 oz. hot cocoa mix.

Shape into 1 inch balls and flatten to 1/4 inch.

Bake for 7-9 minutes until set.

Optional Drizzle:

1c. chocolate chips

1/2 tsp. shortening

Melt chocolate and shortening in microwave for 1 minutes, and stir until smooth. Place in a resealable baggie and snip a tiny corner of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over cookies.

ENJOY!
