I've been making these as part of my Christmas cookie roundup for years, and this one's a keeper. Simple to make, and they melt in your mouth. One of my favorite cookies ever.

This gets raves everywhere I bring them and they are my personal favorite Christmas cookie for the past 15 years. They also freeze well. I toss them again in confectioners sugar before serving or gifting.

I made these for my family for Christmas eve. Most said that they preferred the regular wedding cakes. I think that they tasted better when they were fresh from the oven.

These cookies melt in your mouth the same as the originals. Be sure to use high quality chocolate and real vanilla. A lovely addition to any cookie platter and so rich only a few go a long way. Dough freezes nicely.
