Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Here we are. The last day of November. To date, I have baked exactly 318 different cookies. That is a lot of cookies! We have gone on a few vacations, had our entire house turned upside down so our floors could be refinished and survived the fall soccer season. And still, the cookies were made.

Now, I need to stay focused and get all these recipes up on The Cookie A Day Challenge! Since I am nearing the end of the baking portion, I think I need to up the ante and give myself a date to complete this blog. Since I have hundreds, literaly, of recipes to share, My new goal is to have all the recipes posted by the end of March. So look for lots of delicious recipes to come across your screen.

What better time to kick of my marathon of cookie blogging, then the Holiday season. It is now, when cookies take center stage. Perfect.

I made this cookie at Noah's suggestion this past Monday. He wanted to use candy canes, so we did.

Much to the dismay of my husband, I stored these in our cookie jar. He is not a mint fan, and they made all the cookies taste like mint. so store separately.
