Hi there! I’m Amanda from Life at Cloverhill. Every year I post my Holiday Guide, with my top Christmas recipes, crafts, decor, projects and organization tips to help you through the holiday season. I love the holiday season, but it can get so busy, so I always have a few quick holiday cookie recipes on hand that I can make in a pinch, like these Sparkly Chocolate Fudge Cookies.

We’ve got quite a few parties and family get-togethers over the next few weeks and I love a cookie recipe that I could not only make-ahead but that tastes good too.

I’m a big brownie fan, and the fudgy texture of these Sparkly Chocolate Fudge Cookies is delicious, especially with the crunchy sugar coating on the outside. They really do look like they’re sparkling.

They were so easy to make, taking less than 10 minutes to get them to the oven. As an added bonus they are also great for making the dough ahead and freezing.

You can roll all the uncooked dough balls and then flash freeze them to use later on. It’s as easy as rolling them in sugar and popping them in the oven when you need freshly baked cookies quickly.

You can make just a few for a nice treat while watching Christmas movies with the family, or bake a whole batch for unexpected holiday visitors.
