I often compare happy and joyful things during the year to feeling like Christmas. Well-the following cookie tastes like Christmas to me! It's a nice of blend of peppermint and chocolate.
When I made these recently I substituted vanilla extract for the peppermint extract and added some creamy peppermint pieces!
Enjoy!
