HOW TO STORE
Store your Peppermint Chewy Chocolate Cookies in an air tight container on the counter or table away from heat sources for up to five days. Be careful to keep your cookies away from the oven, stove and microwave as you don’t want to melt your chocolate again, or for it to become sticky and tacky.
Want to change these cookies up a bit? Try dipped them in melted dark chocolate and then topped with crushed Andes Mints. Or keep the white chocolate and then use Andes Mints for the topping. That will help you keep the delicious flavor but add a little more chocolate to your cookie.
