You get the best of both worlds with these chocolate and vanilla cookies. They're an appealing addition to any cookie tray. I usually serve them at the holidays, when they're often the first cookies to disappear, but you can have them any time of year. —Ruth Ann Stelfox, Raymond, Alberta

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I will add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
