Hershey’s Baking Melts Cookies & Giveaway
Print This Recipe
Before we get into the recipe, look what I got in the mail from Hershey’s!
Yep, that’s a Hershey’s® Cookie Headquarter Apron, one package of Hershey’s® Baking Melts Chocolates, one package of Hershey’s® Bits ‘o’ Brickle® Toffee Chips, one package of Hershey’s® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, one package of Hershey’s® Kisses® Chocolates, one canister of Hershey’s® Cocoa, and one set of recipe cards featuring the core Hershey’s® holiday recipes.
I know, it’s amazing. And I couldn’t wait to try out some of the chocolate, including Hershey’s new Baking Melts. The Baking Melts are these cute little discs that can be mixed into batters or even sandwiched between two cookies. The best thing about using them in this cookie recipe is that you get more chocolate in every bite. And how can you go wrong with more chocolate?

1 cup (2 sticks) butter , softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs

I usually hunt for new things to bake with and I have not seen these baking melts yet so they are definitely tops on my list. We’ve already baked our first batches of cookies last weekend. We’re ready to start some more.
Great giveaway. Thanks!
I love baking with the toffee chips!
I’m really excited about the baking melts – didn’t know they had those! But I also just picked up a bundle of their cinnamon chips that I’m looking forward to adding to all sorts of goodies
I love the idea of the baking melts, especially because my family are card carrying chocoholics!!
I’m very excited about the baking melts–I like the idea of them better than the chocolate chunks and they’re a nice change from chocolate chips.

The Bit O Brickle toffee pieces. I have a recipe that calls for these and it just gives that extra crunch and yumminess to the item,.
