Peppermint Fudge Cookies

I am so, so, so close to finishing a couple websites, it is killing me.  So instead of sitting around staring at my email box, I decided to make myself useful and make cookies.

The kind of cookies that I’ve been dying to make since I secretly rejoiced at Nora’s rejection of her stocking peppermint stick: chocolaty and minty and so so delicious.  If you need a midnight snack and you have leftover candy canes, this recipe is exactly what you need.

 The photos (or lack thereof) don’t do the cookies justice, mainly because I took nearly all of them (including some beautiful pictures of smashed candy cane getting stirred in) without a memory card in my camera.  I’m going to pull the pregnancy brain excuse on that one.  They are good though, and easy.  You can thank me later…now go use up your candy canes before New Years!

Peppermint Fudge Cookies

Adapted from How Sweet It Is’  Chocolate Fudge Pomegranate Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint sticks

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350F.

Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, then fold in chocolate chips and crushed peppermint sticks.

Drop cookies onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (this is to reduce sticking caused by melted candy).  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes — they will not look done, but don’t over bake!  The cookies will set up as they cool.

Makes about 30 cookies.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
