The second recipe in my Deadly Force Christmas blog series, Calum’s Christmas Party, is for one of my favorite cookies of the season: Chocolate Sugar Crinkle Cookies. Not too sweet, with the perfect amount of chocolate, it’s a wonderful addition to the dessert table. (Which, in Calum’s mansion, is huge!)
Calum Prioleau: It doesn’t often snow in Savannah, but tonight we had an early Christmas miracle. While my twin sister Carina and I were caroling with our friends, snow flurries blew around. I think it was just the thing (along with the Christmas Cranberry Punch) to get my buddies–all ex-Green Berets–in the holiday mood.
We started out slow. A few of us (Pete and Detective Garza) sang totally off key. Others (Nate and Ty) lip-synced. And one more (Rafe) outright refused to sing. But once the snow started, everyone began to relax and by the fourth house we were all belting out the songs like we were in a kindergarten concert.
I also bribed them with the fact that if we succeeded in our caroling mission, dessert would be waiting at the mansion. Including my sister’s favorite Chocolate Sugar Crinkle Cookies. (and maybe a shot of my best bourbon.)

And since this is a Christmas Caroling party, here’s the first carol of the night.
