Santa’s Cookie – Triple Peppermint Chews

Fireplace with cookies
Everyone knows you must leave cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas Eve. I have a direct line to the jolly old man, and he told me that peppermint cookies are his favorites! I quickly got to the kitchen and made these cookies. They are super easy and very addictive — you can’t eat just one.   What I love about these cookies is that they expand out really flat and thin, but with the candy cane pieces inside, they become really chewy and not crisp. Make a batch of these for Santa Clause this year. He (and you) will be delighted.

how good is that
