A perfect holiday cookie!
I’m always looking for delicious and festive cookies to make during the holiday season, and these truffle cookies are a perfect addition to my cookie baking rotation. They’re easy to make, everyone loves chocolate and they’re so pretty. I also like that they can be made ahead of time and frozen to bring out later. Also, I should mention that I have a great printable Christmas kitchen planner you can use to get ready for the holidays, and a section to keep track of your cookie baking.
