Christmas Chocolate Drop Cookies recipe
- Dove® Promises® Dark Chocolate
- butter
- all-purpose flour
- cocoa powder
- baking powder
- salt
- large eggs
- granulated sugar
- 2 cups chopped nuts: such as walnuts, pecans, or toasted almonds
How to make Christmas Chocolate Drop Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the sheet pans with foil and set aside.
- Melt half of the DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate with the butter in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the remaining chocolate and set aside.
- To make the batter, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes.

Dove dark chocolate is quite literally the best! I don't think I could will myself to putty em in a cookie though…straight not to the mouth for me 😉
I agree with you — cookie season starts immediately after Thanksgiving! And these cookies look wonderful — crisp on the edges, but gooey in the center. And I appreciate knowing that the cocoa used in the Dove dark chocolates is ethically sourced. I've always loved Dove chocolates, but this makes me like them even more!
I'm in complete agreement — cookie season starts immediately after Thanksgiving. These cookies look wonderful — crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, which is just how I like my cookies. And I'm glad to know that Dove uses ethically sourced cocoa for their dark chocolates. I've always loved Dove chocolates, but this makes me like them even better!

You hit an out of the park home run with these cookies. I love Dove chocolate. These cookies look so much and rich and full of chocolate. They would seriously be my all time favorite cookie. I pinned several times to try later.

Hi Jamie, thanks for the recipe, looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. And thank you for the info on Dove, I didn't know, what a great company! Oh and btw, I think homeschooling is awesome! 🙂
These look so sinful!! I don’t have any Dove candy only chocolate chips. Will they work? If so, how do I measure them out? Thank you so much!
Yes! you will need approximately 8-9 oz. to equal a bag of Dove candies! I hope that helps.
