Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ounce packet of hot chocolate mix
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, light brown sugar, and half of the granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
