Can you believe Christmas is in a week?! Where did this year go? Christmas time means a lot of things and one of my favorite is cookies. For me when it comes to cookies its all about the chocolate! Whether they are chocolate cookies (my favorite) or loaded with chocolate chips, I just can’t resist a soft chewy chocolate cookie.

During the holidays chocolate and mint just seem to go hand in hand so I figured why not mix them together into one tasty treat. I can’t get enough chocolate and peppermint together, two of my favorite treats to make during the holidays are these Dark Chocolate Peppermint Truffles and these incredibly easy to make Peppermint Crunch Cookie Bars.

I made these with Nielsen Massey’s pure peppermint extract, it really kicks up the flavor! They even sell it in a cute little bundle, featuring their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, Pure Almond Extract and Pure Peppermint Extract. You can give the gift of baking this season with Nielsen-Massey’s Holiday Flavors Bundle. I know it’s a present I would be happy to receive!

These Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies are the perfect cookie for all you chocolate mint lovers out there and makes a great addition to your holiday baking list. Share these with your family and friends this Christmas and you’ll be sure to make the “Nice List,” enjoy and happy baking!
