Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies (DF)

These cookies are my Candy Cane Lane Brownies revamped!! These Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are dairy-free and spectacular… They are drier than your typical cookies, so they remind me of a thicker, yet more delicious, Thin Mint.

These were the first cookies I made for the cookie boxes that I gave to my family and friends. I was not sure how they would turn out, but I was SO pleasantly surprised!! If you are able to eat dairy, feel free to substitute the coconut oil for butter! A must try… Recipe Below!
