For the past week I've been making a different Christmas cookie every evening. A few to enjoy now and the rest are put away in the freezer to bring out on Christmas. I'm running out of Christmas cookie recipes so thought I would host a "Christmas Cookie Recipe Exchange" with all of you! I'll start by sharing a cookie that I LOVE...it's a MUST for any CHOCOHOLIC!!
Firecracker Fudge Cookies
2 cups (12oz pkg) of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tbls butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Microwave 1 cup chocolate chips in medium, uncovered, microwave safe bowl on HIGHT power for 1 minute; STIR. Chocolate Chips may retain some of their original shape. If neccessary, microwave an add'l 10-15 second intervals, stirring just until choc. chips are melted. Cool to room temperature.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Beat granulated sugar, butter and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat in melted chocolate. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in remaining choc. chips. Cover, refrigerate just until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until sides are set but centers are still slightly soft. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.
** I found some Cappuchino Chocolate Chips at Big Lots last weekend and used 1/2 of choc. chips & 1/2 of cappuchino chips and they were amazing as well!!
Now please supply your link to your Christmas Cookie recipe! Thanks for participating!
