PEPPERMINT CRUNCH SUGAR COOKIES DELICIOUS

These Peppermint Crunch Sugar Cookies are perfectly chewy with a crisp edge. The addition of peppermint crunch chips makes these a perfect Christmas cookie!

Does anyone else love making mini cookies? I just love making little bite sized cookies especially at Christmas time. Why? Because there’s always a plethora of goodies around, and when you make everything bite sized it is acceptable to try everything. Also, I’m pretty sure mini food is calorie free. Who’s with me?

Oh, you want 6 cookies, 4 truffles, and 2 pieces of fudge? It’s ok becasue they’re mini!! No one will judge 😉  Well, I won’t anyway.

So these cookies. They are fairly simple but that’s what makes them special. They are chewy, buttery sugar cookies. Simple and sweet! The magic happens when you add the peppermint crunch chips! The simple cookies are transformed into a must have christmas cookie!
