    Hey there! My name is Karli, I'm visiting from Cooking with Karli as part of Longbourn Farm's holiday cookie exchange!

    These Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are HANDS DOWN my favorite Christmas cookie of all time. I've been making these cookies for years and they never disappoint.

    When I say years, I mean nearly TEN! (And that right there makes me feel old!) It all happened for the first time back in High School while working at Subway... More on that story over here though!

    This chocolate cookie is a very basic recipe that yields such a chewy, rich cookie time after time! It is the base for quite a few cookies on my site, my Chocolate Cookies with Reeses Pieces being the most popular.

    The rich chewy cookie is topped with my favorite Cookie Frosting (aka the most delicious Vanilla Buttercream of them all!) and then sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies.
