Here’s a fun holiday cookie recipe, double chocolate peppermint cookies! I love baking these. Super easy to make, and the candy cane adds a nice crunch and texture to these cookies. I made these for the first time last year and gave them away to friends and neighbors. I wish I could do the same, but 2020 has its own plans. Nonetheless, these cookies are still super yummy and have a fun holiday twist to them!
