Chocolate Delight Cookies

December 10, 2012 by Mom on the Make Leave a Comment

One of my most favorite Christmas cookies growing up were the Chocolate Delights that my Mom would whip up every December.

These special cookies were only for Christmas time.

The combination of different textures including corn flakes, candied dates, and pecans create a very unique cookie.

You do not need to turn on the oven for this recipe.  They only require a refrigerator, so they are very convenient to make at the same time as your other Christmas cookies.  There will not be a line for the oven.  🙂

All mixed and ready to drop onto cookie sheets.
