The Tribune's 36th annual Holiday Cookie Contest has found its three winning cookie recipes — and the Chicago-area bakers who have perfected them.
“It’s a chocolate cookie dough with a Rolo inside topped with flaky salt, which just truly brings out the saltiness in the caramel,” said Caroline Crispino, when asked to describe her first-place Chocolate Salted-Caramel Surprise Cookies.“The caramel I had made hardened too much,” she said. “And I was Googling caramel substitutes quickly.” Her search came up with Rolos, the roll-shaped chocolates with caramel inside, and they worked.
The experienced baker and home cook has made variations of her recipe for years, and says anybody can bake it. The great-granddaughter grew up with people making great meals for their family, but the holiday cookie holds a special importance. Yohanan was first inspired by author, chef and YouTube personality Claire Saffitz, who in 2020 shared her pistachio pinwheel cookie recipe.“I liked them, but I had a few issues with them, so I changed them up a bit,” Yohanan said. “I increased the butter, added more pistachios and changed the shape.”
“They’re rectangular with crisp edges; a lightly golden and speckled almond dough contrasts the stark green ribbons of pistachios,” Yohanan said. “The cookies look like a perfectly wrapped present under a Christmas tree.”
