HOT CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES
This is a variation of the cookies my mother made when I was growing up. Now my 13-year-old daughter and I bake them together. They're always a huge hit! The taste is like rich hot chocolate baked into a scrumptious cookie. -Larry Piklor, Johnsburg, Illinois

PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES
We love the intense chocolate and mint flavors in this chocolate cookie. It really is like hot chocolate in cookie form. They're soft and chewy. We highly recommend enjoying them warm out of the oven while the marshmallows are at prime gooeyness. Chocolaty-minty goodness.
