Holiday Cookies

These are the Peppermint Chocolate Cookies we make these every year. Although its always the same recipe, each year it comes out differently, which is awesome!
Heres how to do it:

Chocolate Pepperment Cookies

2 ½ C flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, 1 cup olive oil, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, a half bag of chocolate chips, 3 crushed candy canes, a hammer, towel and a grocery bag.

Unwrap the candy canes and place them in a dish towel. Put the towel inside a grocery bag and tie it. Go out to the front sidewalk with the kids and a hammer, and tap the candy canes until they become powder (carefully suprevise the kids). This is the best part!

Heat the oven to 350, stir the dry ingredients (except the candy canes and chocolate), and then add the wet ones. Bake for 2 min., then sprinkle the candy cane and chocolate on top. Bake for 8 more minutes, then let cool.  

We decorated re-purposed containers to give the cookies in this year.
