Hot Cocoa Cookies
Winter is the best time of year for hot cocoa, and these Hot Cocoa Cookies are just as good as a warm cup of hot cocoa.
Hot Cocoa Cookies are great to have around the holidays topped with crushed candy canes, they taste just like a peppermint mocha.
As a matter of fact, we make them every holiday season as they are one of Jordyn’s favorites, along with making G-Ma’s fudge.
