Kitchen Tip: You can use crushed candy canes instead of dragées on the chocolate brownie cookies. Crush candy canes in a resealable bag with a rolling pin, then sift to separate larger pieces from finer dust.

Fudgy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and dipped into (yes more) chocolate, these cookies are holiday perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
