Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies
I love going into grocery stores this time of year, because I get to stock up on all the different varieties of baking chips that you can only seem to find during the holiday season.
For my second batch of Christmas cookies, I decided to make these Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies, using Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips.
The rich, dark chocolate and crisp, peppermint flavors combine to create a delicious cookie that tastes like Christmas.
~Enjoy~

Looks yummy! I’d like to try this using gluten free flour.
We just made these with my gluten free flour (http://www.simpliful.com/2010/05/big-reveal-julias-gluten-free-flour.html) and doubled the salt on accident. They are awesome! We baked big ones for 12- 13 minutes and we will definitely do them again for the holidays.
Ok, wait maybe I’m making these for christmas
