Chocolate Peppermint Crackle Cookies

It's that time of year when holiday baking kicks into overdrive and cookies of every kind are everywhere. A wonderful holiday cookie tradition many people enjoy participating in is cookie exchanges. This is where people bring an abundance of one kind of cookie and exchange it with other people who bring an abundance of another kind. After these typically festive gatherings, each person takes home a huge variety of holiday cookies to share with friends and family. 

A favorite Christmas cookie I love to bake, eat, and share with others are these Chocolate Peppermint Crackle Cookies. A variation on the regular Chocolate Crackle Cookies you may be more familiar with, these cookies have a nice mint flavor to them that pairs so well with chocolate. The sugar-coating finish makes these cookies festive and fun, not to mention irresistible. I know many of you will be baking this weekend with your kids, and these cookies are a must-bake to add to your holiday baking list. Kids love rolling the dough, coating the cookies, and watching them magically transform into crackle cookies. You'll love spending time together creating holiday memories that will last a lifetime.
