Chocolate Peppermint Cookies 


4 c Shirley J Universal Cookie Mix (pack loosely)
1 c Cocoa Powder
1 c Milk Chocolate Chips
¾ c water
5 Peppermint candy canes (crushed into pieces)

Directions:

Combine Shirley J Universal Cookie Mix, cocoa, chocolate chips and water together, the mix will appear dry. Shape cookies into a round ball. I use a cookie scooper that my fabulous sister inlaw gave me years ago- can't live without it! Then, flatten slightly and sprinkle with the candy cane pieces. My kids can not stand peppermint, so I did Strawberry flavored candy canes for them and peppermint for me! Bake at 375 for about 8-10 minutes. I underbake everything, so I only cooked for 8 minutes and let them sit for a minute outside of the oven on my baking stone.

I love these cookies, chocolate and peppermint- my favorite combo!

HAPPY BAKIN'!
