While I definitely recommend getting your hands on some holiday peppermint bark, there are heaps of other variations that are so delicious. Get creative in the kitchen and follow your sweet tooth. Try adding chocolate chunks and crushed candy canes to the cookies or for a fun minty variation, top each cookie with an Andes mint. If peppermint isn't your favorite, feel free to omit the peppermint extract from the batter and add chocolate covered caramels or even chopped Oreo cookies to the top of the baked cookies. You can even frost the cookies with a peppermint buttercream or cut them up and sprinkle them over a hot fudge sundae. SO GOOD!
