Coal Cookies

These delectable coal cookies will have you wanting to be on Santa’s naughty list! Made with black cocoa and a smooth buttercream center, they taste like gourmet Oreos.
Switch things up on Santa and give HIM coal this year! These coal cookies are unique and tasty, if not particularly pretty, cookies that you need to try this Christmas season. They make fun (and cheeky!) cookies for Santa, but can also be a sweeter way to give your kids coal for Christmas.
Despite their… let’s call it “rustic” appearance, these cookies actually taste incredible. I like to think of them as soft and tender, gourmet deluxe Oreos. They are made with black cocoa and filled with a not-too-sweet vanilla frosting.
