Chocolate Mint Cookies are the perfectly delicious Christmas Cookie to make for your cookie trays!
Can you believe that Christmas is only a few short days away? My goal this year was to be done with all work projects by December 15th so that I could spend the last week before the Holidays baking my days away and creating delicious treats and goodies to share with friends and family.
Guess what! It’s actually going to happen this year! I’m on schedule and meeting my goals! Now, let’s see if I stick to it and don’t end up online working anyway! 🙂
One of my last projects of the year is these Chocolate Mint Cookies. I’ve been working with Rodelle for several years now, they have the ONLY Vanilla that I use in my recipes as well as some amazing Cocoa Baking Powder. I love creating amazing recipes with their products and this recipe is one of my favorites!
You just can’t go wrong with anything chocolate and mint so I decided to make this Chocolate Mint Cookie – they should probably come with a warning because when you eat one you won’t want to stop there. I had to hide most of them from the family so I knew I would have cookies left to put on my Christmas trays in a week.
Check out how easy the recipe is below and make sure you plan to make our Vanilla Butter Meltaway Cookies too – they’re a reader favorite!
