It wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't make this cookie. Several years ago, I submitted the recipe to our local newspaper and it won first prize of $35. Since then, my family refers to it as the "&35 Cookie"!

These snaps are a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and they turned out great. The dark chocolate gives the snaps a richer flavor.

The snaps turned out perfectly! They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like I like them.
