    If any of your family members do not like mint, leave some of the Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies plain.....

    Either way, they are insanely delicious!

    Notes: {contains affiliate links}

    • I used King Arthur Flour Triple Cocoa Blend to get the deep, rich chocolate flavor.
    • I tried making these cookies with unsweetened chocolate and butter, but they weren't fudgy enough. Using oil keeps them nice and chewy!
    • Don't over bake the cookies or they will lose their chewiness.
    • I use this Small Cookie Scoop to get uniform, 2-inch cookies and perfectly sized Russian Teacakes/Snowball Cookies.
    • I forgot to count the total amount of cookies, so 5 dozen is a guess.

    But wait, there is even more peppermint cookie goodness, like these Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies made with white chocolate peppermint m&m's.....

    Looks like my New Year's resolution is going to be taking new pictures of old recipes and fixing the recipe cards, LOL. I have a year to finish those, right? 😉

    Enjoy!!
