Chocolate Fudge Cookies with Peppermint

I make several different cookies for Christmas and it’s always good to have a great chocolate cookie in the mix and these cookies are a really chocolatey and delicious.  You can add peppermint extract to the dough if you want a chocolate mint cookie, but I prefer to sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for a little hit of mint flavor.  To decorate them, put some white chocolate chips (I like Ghiradelli white chocolate chips) in a baggie and slowly melt them in the microwave until they have fully melted.  Cut a small corner off and drizzle them back and forth over the cookies and sprinkle them with crushed candy canes or other sprinkles.  You can also add chopped hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts.  These cookies freeze well so you can make them in advance.   Click here for the recipe….
