    Why this recipe works:

    Chocolate. Who doesn't love it?


    I do, but I'm not especially a slave to it…until there is mint involved. Then, I'm all over it!


    These Double Chocolate Creme De Menthe Cookies do it for me, and I'm happy to report they did it for the people at my husband's work too.

    What I wrote about this recipe in 2014:

    The past few years, I've not done as much holiday cookie baking as I had in the past. While I've always enjoyed it, I didn't feel the need to have all those extra tempting calories around the house just because it was a fun time in the kitchen.

    However, this year, I plan to do a lot more cookie baking (and cookie recipe sharing here on the blog) because it IS fun to bake (and share). And if that's not a good enough reason to tie on my cookie baking apron, I don't know what is.

    And, just because I bake them doesn't mean I have to eat them all like in years past, right?


    That's why this year, I'll be sharing cookies with anyone and everyone I can, including friends, family, neighbors, and work associates. After all, the holidays are a time of sharing and caring, and what better way than through food…namely cookies! 🙂


    Now, that doesn't mean that I won't be sampling any holiday cookies this year; quite the contrary.


    After all, it's all in the name of quality control! *wink, wink*


    It's just that I/we won't have dozens upon dozens of cookies around the house and in the freezer to tempt us needlessly from November until well into 2015!

    How many cookies does this recipe make?

    Lots! 60-64 good-sized, puffed cookies.

    Can these chocolate mint cookies be frozen after baking?

    Sure thing!

    Store them in an air-tight freezer container (it's best if you can freeze in a single layer because of the chocolate drizzle), for up to 4 months.

      I, for one, am glad that you've decided to tie on your baking apron once again. You really can't go wrong with chocolate and mint this time of year.

      I love the last shot with one cookie missing on the tray. Sacrificed for quality control purposes of course 🙂 I think all your friends, neighbours and co-workers are going to be pretty happy that you have tied on your baking apron once again. These look scrumptious.
