this is going to be delicious
Beautiful cookies with wonderful flavor. Great Christmas cookie!
Made 75 different kinds of Christmas cookies this year, and these were one of the best.
Perfect as is. Sprinkles would be a fun variation. To delowenstein: once again: if you don't use the original recipe,please submit your extremely modified,not-the-same- recipe to TOH elsewhere.

"these are gonna get made for sure-I'll report after I make the dough and bake off a couple". gotta get some candy canes first??I'm a dough freezer! like to make the dough and bake off later so they're always ultra fresh??Kim, I collect many colors and varieties of sprinkles and I'm with you-think I'll add red&green sprinkles as well as red&green decorator sugar to make extra pretty&festive for Christmas Cookie trays- they all get sent to our kids& loved ones
I made these as directed and they tasted great! My husband and son are not huge fans of peppermint so I may try these without the candy canes next time. The chocolate is very rich and "brownie" like so I think they would taste great with or without the peppermint.
I added red and green sprinkles to the top, as well. Very pretty and easy to make.
These are delicious! I added 1/4 tsp peppermint extract to give them more of a mint-chocolate taste. The dough was really sticky so I was concerned at first but they turned out great.
Actually, I made these cookies DOUBLE Chocolate, rather than Triple Chocolate!I'd used the balance of chocolate candy wafer disks: About 1 to 1-1/2 cups) combined with 1 Tbsp. of vegetable shortening and melted it in a double boiler over boiling water until melted and smooth.I used: 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup margarine to stretch my butter supply! I also added 1 tsp. vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. I used 1/2 tsp. each of baking soda and salt. I crushed about 1 dozen REGULAR-SIZED candy canes in my food processor until finely chopped. I greased baking sheets used and baked cookies 8 minutes. I used one of those round plastic cookie disks with designs on them, greased and dipped in flour to flatten the balls of dough before I baked the cookies. I topped the baked, cooled cookies with some of the melted chocolate, then sprinkled some crushed candy canes over the chocolate and allowed the cookies to set. I'd gotten at least 4 dozen to 49 cookies with this recipe! This is a wonderful recipe for the holidays! Thank you so much for sharing! These cookies looked very festive! delowenstein
