Nothing against
these cookies, but they’re really just not my favorite. They’re not bad or anything, but they’re just
not exactly my cup of tea. But
nonetheless, we make them every year as part of our Christmas tradition, so I
feel at least somewhat obligated to include these special cookies in this
series filled with Christmas cheer.
These cookies are
relatively simple to make. Once the
dough is all ready, you simple roll small pieces of it into balls that you then
roll in powdered sugar until covered.
This is a great task if you want to include small children in the cookie
making process as it’s easy to do, or you can do it while sitting in front of
the tv as I often do. Once the cookies
come out of the oven, I often sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar on top of
them to give them an extra “fresh fallen snow” look and feel, but that is
really up to your discretion. That’s
just the way my family does it.
In general, these
cookies are pretty popular with the rest of my family even though I don’t particularly
enjoy them as much as the other cookies (don’t get me wrong- I do still eat my
fair share). My family loves the very
rich chocolate taste that you get with every bite into these cookies, and
dunking them in milk is another great way to enjoy the Christmas treat.
I know there are
many recipes for these cookies out there, as they’re one of the more popular
Christmas cookies, but I thought I’d share with you how my family in particular
makes them. Happy Baking!
