The smell of cookies filling your house, while Christmas music plays, while sipping your favorite holiday drink, just sounds perfect.
I love how pretty these cookies look. The contrast of the dark brown and the bright white. What I love more about these cookies is how delicious they are. They are the perfect mix of chocolate and peppermint.
Get into the Christmas spirit and get these cookies into your oven and then into your belly! These pair perfect with my Homemade Hot Cocoa. Click here for recipe!
