First place winner in the Chicago Tribune's 1996 Annual Holiday Cookie Contest. Kimberly H. McGuire of Oak Park, Illinois entered her grandmother's chocolate shot cookie recipe.

Roll each piece into a log about 1½ inches in diameter. Pour sprinkles into pie plate; roll logs in sprinkles to coat evenly. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. 3.
