Minty Hot Cocoa Cookies

The other day, I heard about these Hot Cocoa cookies, so I had to try them out. I used dark hot chocolate mix, a bag of dark chocolate and mint chips and chopped up a leftover dark chocolate bar. The recipe says to chill the dough, so I did, but my cookie dough balls pretty much stayed in a ball form, they didn't flatten out like theirs, so maybe skip chilling and they'll flatten out? Anyways these are really yummy Christmas cookies!
