Christmas cookies are like none other. I feel like Christmas is the time to be creative with your cookie baking. You know… so Santa doesn’t get bored with the typical sugar and chocolate chip favorites.

And as if baking Christmas cookies wasn’t enough… Mary, Chelsea and I decided that Mint Chocolate cookies were the cookies made for December. (Mint chocolate is a personal favorite of mine. Everything from mint cookies and cream ice cream to Grasshopper pie… Yummo!)

So naturally since we like embedding surprises into our cookies…

… We added York Peppermint Patties in the middle of a fudgey chocolate cookie.

IT WAS PERFECT! Yet again, my new favorite cookie of the month. (This happens every month haha)
