If you couldn’t tell from these, I’m a huge chocolate+mint fan.
It’s like the chocolate/peanut butter flavor combination for the holidays in my opinion.
These literally melt in your mouth and taste just like a dark chocolate york peppermint patty.
This is the first year I couldn’t find the green mint chips (which I think adds a little more festive color to the cookies) but green or not, these still tasted just as good as they do every year!
They keep fairly well too so they could make a perfect last-minute gift as well!
