Notes

Substitutions:
  • If you aren't a fan of white chocolate, feel free to use milk or dark chocolate to dip the cookies in!
  • Peppermint schnapps can be used in place of peppermint oil.
  • Chocolate chips are equally great as a chopped up chocolate bar!
Expert Tips:
  • The peppermint is very strong in these cookies. You can adjust the amount to your preference!
  • Make sure to get the butter out a few hours before baking.
  • Check the expiration date on your baking soda.
  • Don't over mix the cookies!
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a normal spoon. It'll just be harder to get all the cookies the same size!
