Chocolate Snowflakes
Makes about 60 cookies
These cookies have a deep chocolate flavor. The adapted recipe comes from food historian Shirley Cherkasky, with a few tweaks by her daughter, food stylist and writer Lisa Cherkasky. It has been Shirley's favorite Christmas cookie since she found it in the 1955 book "Suggestions for Making and Decorating Christmas Cookies and Breads, Fruit Cakes and Plum Puddings," produced by the Home Service Bureau of her then-local electric company in Wisconsin.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for about 10 days, or freeze them, well wrapped, for up to 1 month.
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 cup sugar
