    Double Chocolate Cookies

    Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies bring a  minty flavor to this holiday cookie and are a great one to share this Christmas season with your friends who love chocolate and living a lower sugar or diabetic lifestyle!

    I always like to make a few "new to me" cookie recipes to try for the Holiday Season. Finding one that is considered to be better for you and tasty can be a challenge. With Grumpy being diabetic, I am always thinking about what would be better for him to eat, which in turn ends up being better for us all. These Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies fit that bill quite perfectly!

    Double Chocolate Cookies

    Peppermint is synonymous with Christmas Treats. Every time the season begins you see peppermint popping up in drinks and baked goodies. I am a huge fan of peppermint and combining it with chocolate just seems to be a natural pairing!

    Double Chocolate Cookies

    These came together without a fuss and the recipe only makes a dozen cookies so that you don't wind up with too many to clean up. After the dough is brought together and scooped onto the cookie tray, it is placed in the freezer for 10 minutes. The dough is flattened slightly after removing from the freezer, then baked. What comes out at the end is soft and full of chocolate flavor. The addition of the crushed peppermint immediately out of the oven gives that Christmas feel to the cookie.

    I found this recipe in the most recent issue of Diabetic Living. I did find that they should be eaten the same day that they are made as they tend to moisten up within 24 hours and cause the crushed peppermint on top to start dissolving.
