California christmas gold cookies
Cookies
I won a local Christmas cookie contest with these, which i invented after a trip to Costco during which I got carried away and bought an enormous container of Mexican drinking chocolate. I started with a recipe I found on a blog by NerdyBaker, then improvised. The blend of the spicy Mexican chocolate and oranges struck me as being uniquely Californian, so I added some toasted local pecans to the mix. Use good cocoa, spices, and chocolate. It makes a difference. The gold sugar crystals aren't necessary to the flavor, but add some bling for the holidays! You could certainly use a sprinkling of powdered sugar instead.
