Buche de Noel Cookies

Recipe by NYT Cooking

A festive, chocolate‑flavored rolled cookie that mimics a traditional French Bûche de Noël but is made in cookie form. The dough is flavored with cacao nibs, demerara sugar and a hint of salt, filled with a silky chocolate‑butter ganache, coated in a crunchy cacao nib mixture, and sliced into 36 bite‑size spirals. The cookies can be made in bulk, frozen, and baked on demand—perfect for holiday gifting or a quick treat.
