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 cookies like amazing! Im a sucker for dark chocolate.. and cookies. So these are right up my alley!
Thanks so much for sharing at the Life of the Party!
I'm in complete agreement — cookie season starts immediately after Thanksgiving. These cookies look wonderful — crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, which is just how I like my cookies. And I'm glad to know that Dove uses ethically sourced cocoa for their dark chocolates. I've always loved Dove chocolates, but this makes me like them even better!
