Something more savoury beside something more
sweet, something crumbly beside something
chewy, something fancy and filled beside
something unassuming and small. What could
be a better dilemma then choosing between a
buttery cinnamon shortbread, a crisp-edged,
chewy-centred white chocolate molasses cookie,
and a classic chocolate crackle dressed up as a
double decker with decadent mint frosting?
All three of these recipes start with your basic
drop cookies. Drop cookies, which involve
nothing more than making dough, shaping it
into balls, and baking, are your friend during
the busy holiday season. No rolling to ΒΌ-inch
thickness, no dough chilling, no cookie cutter
fuss. A drizzle of chocolate, sprinkle of white
chocolate chips, and quick roll in powdered
sugar bring each of these cookies up a notch.
In platters full of chocolate and caramel, tarts
and squares, sprinkles and sparkles, the
unassuming cookie needs to be holiday ready,
and these three irresistible cookies definitely
earn their place.
