The holidays are here! It finally snowed here in Wisconsin on Sunday and it was gorgeous! I spent the entire day inside baking cookies. I loved it. My oven was on, music playing and the smells of everything chocolate and good and right filled my kitchen.

Come December, I’m usually baking up a storm and this year is no different. There’s something about baking with my daughters, making memories, seeing their excitement and, of course, enjoying something delicious when we are finished.

This includes bribing them with cookies to help me take photos too.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate melted and cooled*
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Using your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment, mix together the oil, melted and cooled chocolate, granulated sugar and vanilla. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated.
  • Using a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. With the stand mixer on low, slowly add all of the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients until all incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Scoop out cookie dough by teaspoonfuls into the powdered sugar (use tablespoon sized dough balls for larger cookies if desired) and roll around to coat and shape into balls. Place the cookie dough balls at least 2 to 3 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes or until slightly crispy around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Enjoy!

    I am going to try this recipe for sure. Last year my sister in law and I completely messed up a batch of crinkle cookies. We kept thinking they didn’t look done and left them in the oven. They basically became flat crisps. We ate them anyway…because chocolate :)!

    I love making holiday cookies, and I’d love to make these. I have a hard time keeping enough chocolate that I don’t eat it all before I make the recipe. I also like making gingerbread men/women and decorate sugar cookies! I save any empty containers good for the cookies for making little gifts of the cookies, esp for shut ins.

    My favorite sweet treat to bake over the holidays are my fudgy chocolate bundt cakes! With a white chocolate drizzle to balance it out, of course! I also enjoy baking my mother’s gingerbread cookie recipe every year!

    My favorite Christmas cookies are the classic cut out sugar cookies, I think half of it’s just the nostalgia of making them as a child with my mom and grandma! Plus, you top them with sprinkles, which makes everything better!

    Favorite over the holidays is pumpkin bread with Kabocha squash. The spices and cinnamon-y smell wafting in the air feels like the holidays!

    My absolute favorite sweet treat to eat during the holidays is pumpkin pie!
    Which is weird because I don’t like pie. Not a single one, except for pumpkin pie.
    Well, and sweet potato pie, which is basically the same thing as pumpkin pie. 🙂

    I enjoy making biscotti at the holidays to gift to family and friends. It’s a nice treat for their coffee or cocoa on those cold winter days.

    For me, cranberries are the star of the show at this time of year. I usually make cranberry-nut bread, which I love. This year, I’m obsessed with pumpkin-cranberry bread, and have already tested a few recipes. The best will be given as gifts.

    My favorite thing to bake and eat during the Holidays are Butterball cookies made with walnuts. I’ve loved them since I was a child and my mother baked them.
