Expert Tips

This recipe was one of fifteen winners in the 2007 Mix It Up with Betty! Cookie Mix Recipe Contest. More than $10,000 was awarded!

Look for the hot chocolate tablets in the Hispanic section of your supermarket.

Use a #70 or 1-tablespoon spring-loaded ice cream scoop to make quick work of dropping the cookie dough. Using a scoop also ensures cookies will be the same size and will bake the same length of time.

Very good flavor. My only complaint is they get pretty hard within a day or two of making.

I made this for Christmas cookies were good but a little to sweet. I think next time I'll with hold the 1/4 cup of sugar. cookies mix has enough sugar already.

These were great! They have a different chocolate flavor than most chocolate cookies I've made. Mine did not flatten out like the picture either, but they were soft in the middle and a bit crisp on the edges, just the way I like them! The only thing I did different was to use only about 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips. These cookies are very easy and very good. I will be making them again!
