I love hot chocolate, but when I found out you could make hot chocolate cookies, I knew it was a match made in heaven.
These cookies are the perfect combination of soft and chewy, and are always a crowd favorite.
You will love the flavor and texture of these cookies, as well as your family and guests.
You need to try this one. They also taste even more delicious when paired with a steamy hot cup, of your favorite hot chocolate recipe.
have you heard about truvia?
As Truvia® ambassadors, we have had the opportunity to try some of the products, and we have fallen in love with the Truvia® Baking Blend.
This natural, gluten-free sweetener is a great way to decrease your calorie intake, so it’s perfect to help you keep your resolutions in 2019.
It is hard to completely cut out a certain food group (for us – that would be sweets) but with the reduced calories in the Baking Blend, you don’t have to miss out on what you love (and you can keep your goals on track).
How to make hot chocolate cookies:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together shortening, softened butter, brown sugar and Truvia® Baking Blend until light and fluffy. I used an electric hand mixer for this step, but you could also use a whisk.
Step 3: Add eggs and vanilla to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour and hot chocolate powder. I like to whisk it together, until all the dry ingredients are well combined.
Step 5: Add to the butter/sugar mixture and combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 6: Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to avoid cookies from flattening. This also allows the cookies to sweeten when they bake, when the fats and sugar have more time to combine, in the cold.
Step 7: After your dough has chilled, drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until set up but the centers are still soft.

Love Hot Chocolate and love cookies! This is perfect! I have never baked with Truvia before so this will be a first.
Hot chocolate cookies… are you kidding me? These have got to be the most delicious cookies in the world. Oh the yumminess! I might have to tell the husband that we need to try this out asap – even though we just made cookies yesterday 🙂
gorgeous recipe. i will try out soon. i love chocolate cookies!
I want to eat these cookies while I drink hot chocolate…sounds soo good! Thanks for sharing 🙂

So can these be made with regular sugar? If so how much sugar instead of the Truvia? My son makes some yummy chocolate chip cookies and my birthday is this weekend so I’m hoping I can talk him into making THESE for me! 🙂
Yes it can be made with regular sugar. Just substitute 1 cup of granulated sugar in place of the truvia. -The Six Sisters
would mini marshmallows work in place of the chips? that would make it more “hot chocolate” like 🙂
Ya! They would definitely work!
