Dipped Chocolate Logs image

When my sister and I were little, we used to beg my mother and grandmother to make these buttery chocolate cookies during the holidays. Now, as moms ourselves, we get together every year to make Christmas cookies, and the chocolate logs are always on the top of our list. —Deanna Markkos, Western Springs, Illinois

These chocolate logs were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still tasted good. I think I'll try adding a little bit of flour to the recipe next time.
