Hello and Happy December to all The 36th Avenue readers! It’s Aniko from Place Of My Taste and I am here to share a fantastic Christmas cookie recipe with you all today. We give cookies to friends and neighbors each year for Christmas. I try to give something different every year though. This was the first time that I tried to make these delicious Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, although they have been on my list for ever. Who doesn’t love cookies this time of the year, right?

These cookies are so rich in chocolate flavor and they are fantastic with a cup of hot cocoa!
If you are a huge chocolate lover, like me, you probably won’t stop eating them!!
Give them as a gift , they are not only tasty but very festive looking too!
I made these super cute Rudolf gift boxes (FOR VIDEO TUTORIAL, CLICK HERE) and these boxes will be perfect to hold my Chocolate Crinkle cookies and give them away as gifts!
They are so super cute!
