Hi Y’All, Laura here from Pink Cake Plate! I am so honored to be a part of Bake Craft Sew again this year!! I share easy and delicious recipes because I believe cooking shouldn’t t be rocket science to taste amazing! Some of my recipes are from scratch and some are “shortcut cooking” using mixes or precooked foods! For me its all about spending more time with your family and friends than in the kitchen!

Have you ever wanted a soft chewy cookie studded with tons of chocolate chips and peppermint candies? Boy do I have a recipe for you!! These peppermint double chocolate chip cookies will fix any chocoholic craving you may have! They are perfect to add to those holiday cookie trays!

We absolutely love soft chewy cookies filled with chocolate chips at our house and these are the perfect fix. These cake like cookies are just perfect!!

Since there are just two of us here I have been scooping the dough onto a cookie sheet and putting in the freezer, when they are frozen I put them in a freezer bag.

That way when we want a warm cookie to have with an ice cold glass of milk I just take a few out of the freezer and bake away!! I cant tell you how many cookies this has saved from the trash!! We can’t eat a whole batch of cookies before they get stale!!
