They are made with chocolate, and look like little meatballs. Here is a recipe:

ITALIAN MEAT BALL COOKIES

1 c. vegetable shortening

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. milk

5 c. flour

3 eggs

5 tsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. cinnamon

1 tbsp. cloves

1 tbsp. nutmeg

3/4 c. baking cocoa

1 c. nuts (opt.)

1 c. chocolate chips (opt.)

Cream shortening, sugar and eggs; then add vanilla and milk. Add flour, baking powder, cocoa and spices. Add nuts and chocolate chips. Roll dough into balls the size of walnuts and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a 375 degree oven. When cookies are cool, frost with glaze.

GLAZE:

3 tbsp. butter

3 c. confectioners' sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Add enough warm milk as needed to make glaze into a runny consistency

we always buy a tin of cadburys choccy biccys and i bake christmas almond iced cookies and choc chunk cookies (most of which df takes to work) weve also got some lebkuchen cookies which are tasty little german biccys

pompom...an FYI, adding the chocolate chips is a tad bit of overkill. My sister in law, who is usually the one who makes them, does not add the chips..just the nuts.

chocolate/overkill....not possible :rolleyes:

thank you going to try. tazz

My favorite cookies are white chocolate chip. And not in a chocolate cookie base, but a 'vanilla'- type cookie. And you can hold the macadamia nuts, please :p

Great! Then I don't have to feel guilty if I eat some white chocolate *before* I put it in the cookies, right?
