Actually chocolate doesn't figure very much in our planned Christmas celebrations. Christmas Eve the whole family gets together for finger food. (Aunt Diane always makes me a cheeseball with cream cheese, ham, bell pepper... some kind of other stuff in it... all rolled in diced pecans.) Christmas Day we reconvene for a good family breakfast - cheese and eggs, Grandma's buttermilk biscuits, bacon, sausage, white gravy, etc.
I might start a tradition of making these cookies though. Just chocolate chip cookies, but they have a texture that makes them vanish when I take them to any kind of party. (Secret is the oat flour. Shhhh, don't tell!)
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups self-rising flour
5 cups oat flour
48 oz chocolate chips
10 oz chocolate bar, grated
Melt butter. Mix up ingredients in order from the top of this list down. When you get to the oat flour, just put some oats in a blender. Put dough on greased cookie sheet in tablespoons. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Have someone hide cookies so you won't eat too many
