homemade Chocolate drop cookies recipe

This Chocolate Drop Cookies are perfect for Christmas cookie swaps!

Christmas Chocolate Drops are perfect for Cookie Exchanges and giving in a goodie basket during the holidays.

It’s the most marvelous time of the year! It’s time for cookie swaps and taking goodie baskets to our neighbors and friends. I always enjoy baking, but there is just something a little magical about baking at the holidays. It is when I pull out all of the stops creating decadent, mouth-watering treats that will put a smile on the face of everyone who tries them.

Melt half of the Dove Promises Dark Chocolate to use as the base for the Christmas Chocolate Drops cookie batter.

This recipe starts with melting half a bag of DovePromises Dark Chocolate. They look as smooth and silky when they melt as they taste. The hardest part of making these cookies is not taking a spoon to that melted chocolate! Fondue anyone???

Chop the other half of the Dove Promises Dark Chocolate to add to the batter.

The other half of the bag of Promises is chopped up and added to the batter. Wait. The hardest part of making this recipe might be not nibbling on all of this deliciously rich dark chocolate while chopping it.

    This looks like a wonderful recipe. I am going to use it for part of my contribution for the cookie walk benefitting her high school choir. I like to keep things simple and dekicious for quantity baking.

    These are my kind of cookie. If I made these cookies I don’t think I would have any left over for goodie baskets for the neighbors, I would eat them all of them.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
