Yields 40 large cookies or 54 medium cookies.
Tips:
Make sure cookies are completely hardened and that the chocolate from the nonpareils is totally dry before stacking and freezing. Use different colored nonpareils (we used brown and white) to match your simchah motif.
Variations:
For a slightly healthier version, use 3/4 cup oil in place of the margarine and just 1 and 1/2 cups sugar and whole wheat pastry flour. (That’s how I made it.) Oil makes the cookies a little crunchier, whereas margarine makes them chewier.

substition for chopped nuts looks great, any ideas for substitions for the chopped nuts?
You can use shredded coconut. However, you can’t leave it out because it gives the cookies a certain chewiness.
substituting the flour can i use white whole wheat flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour? in general is it interchangable?
Pastry flour makes it lighter.

So pretty! Our community tries to get together a few times a year in our Shul’s kitchen to provide some homemade baked goods for kiddush. We decided to make this recipe as it’s pretty, handheld, and chocolate! It was a hit! Kids and adults enjoyed the tasty treats.
