Chocolate Peppermint Shortbread Cookies Recipe
First off I need to give a shout out to my dad for helping me come up with recipe π
We were in the cookie aisle at Winco and I thought a chocolate covered cookie would be a great idea and my dad agreed
We could not agree on what cookie to use as the base but finally agreed on shortbread cookies π
Side Note – My husband ate ALL the cookies in the picture above π
I thought the Lorna Doone Shortbread cookies are a perfect choice – I decided to have the textured top be the bottom of the cookie
I also decided not to dip the cookie only on one side – you can dip the whole thing but I found it pretty messy when I tried to do it that way
This is also a perfect last minute treat for family or friends
Also if it is past Christmas it is a perfect way to get rid of all those extra candy canes —- I always seem to have a ton laying around after Christmas
This treat is easiest enough for kids to help make – and they sure are pretty
I hope you make this recipe and if you do I would love to know what you thought simply comment on this post π
If you do snap a picture I would love to see it put it on instagram use the #budgetsavvydiva so I can check it out
Enjoy!
