Chocolate Mint Truffle Cookies image

These cookies are our very favorite Christmas cookies. My husband has been making these with our kids since the oldest was just 1 1/2 years. They are amazing - chocolaty, fudgy and moist. A true winning combination. The dough needs to be refrigerated for 2 hours which is not included in the prep time. Cookies can be frozen for about a month and will last in airtight container for about a week (although we never actually have been able to test this time because the cookes are gone in no time).

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more butter.
