Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. A simple recipe that is sure to impress holiday guests.

The holiday baking season is upon us!! Do you know what to bake?

This cookie was the brain child of my oldest son. He wanted a chocolate cookie with candy cane pieces on it. That is exactly what he got. I added three different types of chocolate to this cookie, and paired with the peppermint, turned out delicious!

A simple and impressive recipe even beginners can make.
