    Peppermint Bark Cookies with mint chocolate flavoring. Great cookie for the Christmas season and EASY to whip up in a hurry!

    These Peppermint Bark Cookies were fun to make.  They were actually a last minute, I'll hurry and "whip up some cookies" decision.  I had gotten some Hershey's Peppermint Bark Bells at Target yesterday fully intending to put them in the kids' stockings.

    However, with the thought of cookies lingering in the air and the peppermint bells in the other room, I couldn't resist.  I had to make the cookies.

    I mean, after all, it's Christmas.  What says a Christmas cookie like a mint Christmas cookie?

    Not much, I'd say.

    The only problem I had with these cookies were the vultures I had swarming around the kitchen while these were being made.  Then while they were in the oven.  5 vultures to be exact, including one who is 6'1" tall and kept insisting I don't let them cook for too long.

    "We all want a doughy cookie" he said.

    They were perfect, I must say.  Not hard, definitely chewy and delicious!  Mint with chocolate wrapped up in a cookie drizzled with almond bark.  Hello.

    Be sure to add these cookies to your Christmas cookie tray this year.  They will be a fast favorite.  Just ask the vultures. ;-)
