Cinnamon sugar snowflake cookies with rich and creamy cocoa
Warm cinnamon and sugar pairs perfectly dipped in this ultra-rich cocoa, which almost acts as a sauce. This cozy dessert is pretty, fancy enough for Shabbat but fun and relaxed enough for a snow day. The cocoa is very rich so the portion here would be a small mug or half a large mug with…
