Christmas Fudgies: recipes at my table

Christmas Chocolate Fudgies

Christmas Chocolate Fudgies

Christmas Chocolate Fudgies are another one of those quick cookies my mother-in-law and her generation made at Christmas.  Again, it is on a torn piece of paper and I altered it a bit by adding Baileys Irish Cream.  You can add a chocolate syrup instead if you don’t want to use it when baking for children.

These cookies come together quickly and you will want to make a double batch.  They also decorate well with different toppings.  I like to use almonds, and coffee beans to alternate with the cherries.  At Christmas the cherries are festive. Using coffee beans will intensify the flavour of the chocolate.

Out of the oven and cooling.
