-1 C white chocolate chips
-1 C milk chocolate chips
-1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
2. In a separate bowl. combine flour, hot chocolate mix, salt, and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients in 3 to 4 parts, making sure it is all combined.
3. Fold in chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to and hour to firm up the dough. Don't do it longer than this or else the dough will become as hard as a rock.
