FRENCH CHRISTMAS COOKIES

French Christmas Cookies image

These moist treats will have everyone reaching for more. Folks tell me they enjoy these French Christmas cookies. In fact, the batches I make ahead for my family and store in the freezer until Christmas seem to mysteriously disappear each year-even though the chocolate topping I put on before serving hasn't been added yet! -Judy Wilder, Mankato, Minnesota
