Serious Cookies: Cocoa Snowflakes
Thank you for such a moving piece and a very tempting sounding and looking recipe. I have always loved these crinkle type cookies especially if the interior is fudgy and moist. I can almost taste them already, with toasted pecans being my nut of choice. I can relate to the warm memories and the role food plays in many of them. I am glad that has propelled you forward in your recovery. Best wishes and thanks for the large measure of inspiration and warm-hearted sentiment.

These were fantastic - I'll be making these every year and probably year round...the dough is lovely and it doubles nicely too. Thanks, Gina.

Made these exactly as the recipe stated and they are wonderful! Thanks again, Gina. Merry Christmas!

I substituted the rum for kahlua and added pecans instead of pistachios! So yummy!! Wonderful post - can't wait for more!

What a wonderful post — and the cookies were fantastic! They were a big hit in my house. Looking forward to more good ideas.

These look great, and yes, it's wonderful to see you back, Gina :)
My grandmother used the "X system" for marking the best recipes...triple X meant it was the best, and it's sure funny to see on otherwise innocent, pure recipes ;)

My Grandmother has the same exact recipe box! I love it so much. It is so packed with recipes you have to take them all out at once and thumb through them. I bet there are a ton of green and yellow tin boxes out there filled with delicious treats.

It's always those special memories of baking with mom that keep us going. Glad your back baking and sharing your insights. Happy Holiday.

Gina, it's so good to read this from you. I love your description of the time worn recipe box... and the photo. And the recipe sounds perfect for my holiday cookie exchange. Thank you and all the best to you this holiday season.

What a wonderful post Gina, well done and I trust that you will be fully recovered from the ovarian cancer and treatment. Memories are wonderful things to wrap yourself in and keep warm. These cookies look and sound sublime. I will have to add them to my ever lengthening list. Thankyou, Colleen ;o) xxx

Ciao Bella! Tante Belle Cose da Firenze!
I was thrilled to see you here online! Nothing better than being at mom's and being taken care of!
I wish you all the best for 2009!

Oh my. I looked at the cookies and recognized them as my mother's chocolate crackle cookies. The oddest part is that I can find that recipe in the recipe box I made my mom.Thanks for taking me back in time.
Welcome back and stay well.
