If you read the title of this post and thought to yourself “that sounds really tasty” let me assure you that you are correct. They really are tasty !
The original recipe didn’t call for peppermint extract in the dough but I decided since I love mint it would be perfect. The chips I used were a limited edition from Nestle. If you see these delicious dark chocolate and mint chips I highly recommend picking up a bag. I only wish I would have bought more than one. I went to the store today and they didn’t have any left….boo.
Honestly the store seemed to be sold out of almost everything. I went to buy a bag of Christmas themed M&M’s and they were sold out of those too. I asked the guy who works at the store and he says “oh yeah those flew off the shelf this year.” It makes me wonder who are all these people buying M&M’s and what do they need them for? I only ask because it annoys me they bought all of them before I got a bag.
Well ladies and gentleman I apologize for this short post but I have a lot of Christmas baking to do and it’s not going to get done unless I get my lazy butt into the kitchen and make it.

These cookies look so good! I absolutely love mint, especially around this time of year. Your bow was a whimsical festive touch! I cannot wait to try this recipe…I just hope I can find those special mint and dark chocolate chips!
I have a bag of those dark chocolate and mint chips in my pantry. I might just have to make these cookies with it. They look great!
Yummy! I love chocolate & mint. Might have to go pick up a bag of those chips; I saw them last week, so hopefully they’re not sold out too.
mint and chocolate. Two things that go really great together. Yum yum!!
These cookies look so rich and chewy, I’d love to try them! I suppose I, too, am going to have to trek to the store and see if I luck out and come home with some of those special chips!
These look so pretty. I love how you wrapped them up with a green ribbon. The brown and green go together so nice, not to mention that they look delish.
Have a fantastic weekend daaaaaaahling.
