These cookies are known for their delicate texture and flavor and can be found on VeryBestBaking.com's website drizzled with chocolate for extra pizzazz. They are also included in the Zaar World Tour 2005 swap, Mexico.
SERVES 26 , 4 1/2 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, 2 sticks softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup nuts, finely chopped
- 2-2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups chocolate chips, divided (12-ounce package)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350º F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and sugar until creamy, beat in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, nuts, and cinnamon. Stir in 1 1/2 cup of chocolate morsels and stir until dough is well combined. Roll dough into one inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets.2
Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set and lightly golden brown on bottom. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes than place on wire racks to cool completely.3
Microwave remaining chocolate chips in small bowl or heavy-duty plastic bag for 30 seconds. Stir chips or knead bag. Microwave at 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring or kneading until smooth. If using a bowl to melt chips, pour chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip a small portion of the bag in the corner; slowly squeeze chocolate to drizzle over cookies. Refrigerate cookies for about 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store cookies at room temperature in airtight container.

These are very nice soft shortbread like cookies. They were easy to make other than rolling them. The regular sized chocolate chips made it hard to get enough dough into each cookie so it would hold together. I think if I made them again I would use mini chips like previous reviewers or use less regular ones. I used ground walnuts and the maximum amount of cinnamon. I love cinnamon with chocolate but found this amount of cinnamon overpowering. I was afraid these wouldn't be sweet enough but they were fine. I made mine larger so they baked for 14 minutes. I didn't drizzle the chocolate on them, I didn't feel they needed it. Thanks for the recipe. Made for Holiday Tag.

Wonderful recipe! I made the dough into little crescents and hearts and stars and then piped chocolate glaze on them and they were beautiful and they tasted wonderful. Thank you for such a great, easy recipe.

Oh my gosh leave it to zaar to help me find the most different, best tasting cookie recipes. Laurie I had these cooking and when our son came home said Mom, what is cooking, got one and then started scarfing them down..
I did take laurie's suggestion and used mini chocolate chips. We love the regular wedding cakes and with the cinnamon and chocolate chips was amazed at the flavor of this cookie. I started getting creative and rolled some in powder sugar and drizzled chocolate over some and thought I wonder at christmas if I can get the green and red frosting and make designs too lol These are sooo tasty, very easy and it smells like christmas in our house right now.. You make me want to get the tree out, thanks for a great recipe. Hope everyone gives these delicate, yummy cookies a try..
Thanks for a keeper..
