Project 11~The recipe for those cookies....Chocolate Dreams Dressed for Christmas!

Some of you asked about the recipe for these cookies...so here it is!

This is my favourite cookie ever!

Chocolate Dream Cookie Recipe
Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup cocoa

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are puffed. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

I make a double batch for Christmas when I want to package them for gifts.

 To dress them up for Christmas, we melt white chocolate and drizzle over the cookies. Then we sprinkle crushed candy canes for some colour and crunch!

{True story last year.~My daughter wanted to help by melting the white chocolate.

We hit a little learning curve here~ she 'seized' two batches of white chocolate before we got to a usable batch of white chocolate for drizzling. Mom [me] had to run to the grocery store twice in half an hour to pick up more chocolate. So remember to melt the chocolate with very gentle heat!}

And here is the final packaging:

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!
