Christmas cookies are so important at our house. My children even though they are grown think they are a must and they all have their favorites. There are three cookies I have to make every year. Chocolate Crackles, Sugar Cookies, and Snow Balls. These three are a must besides all the bread and pies that are necessary too. Today I thought I would share one of my favorite cookie recipes with you – Chocolate Crackle Cookies.
Chocolate Crackles are so easy to make. They taste like a brownie and look like snowflakes with their powdered sugar cracked tops.
