Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

December 2, 2013

Tattooed Martha - Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies (8)

Yesterday I celebrated the first day of December by drinking hot chocolate, listening to Oldies Christmas music, and baking cookies all day. Unfortunately, the gloomy Oregon weather wasn’t cooperating and I couldn’t share my delicious recipe with you. After a redo photo-shoot this morning, I think they’re ready to make their debut! The best way to sum these up is to say that if December were a cookie, than this would be IT! They’re chewy, decadent, and have just the right kick of peppermint without being overpowering.
