Christmas Chocolate Drop Cookies recipe
- Dove® Promises® Dark Chocolate
- butter
- all-purpose flour
- cocoa powder
- baking powder
- salt
- large eggs
- granulated sugar
- 2 cups chopped nuts: such as walnuts, pecans, or toasted almonds
How to make Christmas Chocolate Drop Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the sheet pans with foil and set aside.
- Melt half of the DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate with the butter in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the remaining chocolate and set aside.
- To make the batter, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in flour mixture and cooled chocolate and beat for 1 minute. Fold in the remaining chopped DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate and nuts.

These look so sinful!! I don’t have any Dove candy only chocolate chips. Will they work? If so, how do I measure them out? Thank you so much!
Yes! you will need approximately 8-9 oz. to equal a bag of Dove candies! I hope that helps.
Hi Jamie, thanks for the recipe, looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. And thank you for the info on Dove, I didn't know, what a great company! Oh and btw, I think homeschooling is awesome! 🙂
Janine,You hit an out of the park home run with these cookies. I love Dove chocolate. These cookies look so much and rich and full of chocolate. They would seriously be my all time favorite cookie. I pinned several times to try later.Blessings,Diane Roarkrecipesforourdailybread
