Chocolate Sundae Cookies Recipe

Chocolate Sundae Cookies remind me of the chocolate pinwheel cookies.  It would not have been a holiday cookie tray at our house without this unique and tasty Chocolate Sundae Cookies.

This fantastic cookie recipe was shared with me by a neighbor of mine, Shirley Snyder of Scholls, Oregon.  I believe this cookie recipe is an older 1961 Pillsbury Cook-Off recipe winner from Withee, Wisconsin.
