These cookies were on Emeril's Holiday show in 2005 and won the blue ribbon. I have made them every year since then and am always asked for the recipe. Thanks Lynn Scully.

Place on cookie sheets several inches apart. BAke App. 22 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool a couple of minutes and place on cooling rack (I just put them on top of wax paper on my granite island and works perfect).

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit: This will help them bake evenly without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to a week.
