On the 11th Day of Christmas Cookies as we near the end of these yummy 12 days, I’m sharing a recipe that is full of chocolatey flavor, the Chocolate Spritz.
12 Days of Christmas Cookies: Chocolate Spritz
This cookie has a hearty dough and the little dollop of frosting in the center pulls the flavors all together. This one came as a recommendation from Mom, something she had remembered from Christmas pasts but wasn’t always an essential that I could recall from growing up. But after tasting the little treats I decided to add them to my holiday line up for good.
