This cookie recipe comes from my official “Christmas Cookie Collection”. It’s a crisp, sugar cookie rolled in sugar and nutmeg, with a hint of rum and brandy. I recommend buying those extracts before the holidays as they are hard to find once holiday baking season arrives.

I found this recipe on a box of corn flakes years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. You can “make it your own” by adding herbs or spices that your family enjoys.
Are you curious as to why someone would name this cake “Death by Chocolate”? I believe it’s because when you take a bite of this moist, chocolaty cake, you’ll think you died and went to heaven. No one will ever guess this was made with a boxed cake mix.
