Chocolate Noogies
"Baking these cookies has been a holiday tradition for Claudia Wardius since childhood. "My mother, and her mother before her, used to make Chocolate Nuggets at Christmastime," says the Brown Deer, Wisconsin, mom. When they were little, her kids didn't like nuts (the traditional topping), so Claudia replaced them with buttercream frosting and sprinkles. "Robbie and Molly, then three and two, dubbed the new cookies Chocolate Noogies because they couldn't say nuggets," she explains...."
