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.
