Recipe Swap Thursday-Christmas Cookie Edition!


Today I am sharing an old family favorite-tutus (also known as chocolate balls). I can remember my Mom making these every year. I would love coming home from school seeing the kitchen table COVERED in tutus, freshly glazed, with the excess glaze all over the table-YUM!


Tutus


4 C flour
1 ½ C granulated sugar
2 T (heaping) cocoa
2 T (heaping) baking powder
5 large eggs
1 C Crisco
2 T vanilla
1 C chopped walnuts
1 C chocolate chips (more if desired)
milk, as needed





Mix all ingredients and roll into balls the size of a quarter. Bake 425° for 7-8 minutes. (As these get larger upon baking, you may want to do a few to see how big you want them). Cool and frost. (Frosting: powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk).





Now, it's your turn! Grab the button on the sidebar to link back to me, and leave a link to your post in the comment section.

I have put my recipe for coconut ice up. This is a slice rather than a cookie but we have a lot of slices here at Christmas.

Hi Therese,
I am sharing a Diabetic Fruit Cake, as we don't make cookies in our home for Christmas. I hope that you don't mind.

Have a great weekend,
Blessings,
Jillian
