  1. Hi, first congratulations on your work. Then, I have a question, is the 2 hour refrigeration strictly necessary? I do not know if I have that much time. I am making these with our kids and they do not know how to wait that long for cookies particularly when they involve chocolate.

    1. Ive done this recipe every Christmas for almost 5 years. The fridge time makes it a-lot less messy to roll them in the powdered sugar, when the dough is chilly and doesn’t stick to your hands. Also- For some reason if you use the freezer and then put them in the oven they don’t rise.

    Somehow after I added the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour…) it made the mixture turn brown and not a nice brown shade. Hopefully they taste good
