Bubby's chocolate & walnut meringue swirl cookies
Cookies
My Bubby used to make these cookies for every holiday, family event or gathering. They're like a hybrid bun/cookie: made with a yeasted dough that rises overnight and then rolled out like cinnamon buns, they're filled with a heady mixture of cocoa, cinnamon, sweet meringue and walnuts. The filled dough is then rolled into a log and sliced into cookie-like swirls, and they bake up sweet, puffy, crunchy, and almost marshmallow-y. The combination of the bitter cocoa and smooth, sugary meringue is out of this world. I've yet to find a better holiday cookie and my whole family agrees- these are a classic!
