    What a long name for a cookie huh? These cookies have so much flavor, make tons, and are the perfect Christmas cookie for any goodie tray.

    A super easy and delicious Chocolate Chunk Peppermint Cookie using pudding mix!

    Do you do a lot of Holiday baking? Growing up, my mom would assemble trays to deliver to all the neighbors. She would bake about 10 different cookies, bars, and fudge to include on the trays! The neighbors went crazy over it as did I because we would all get to enjoy a tray of our own and there were lots to choose from.

    Now that I am older and a mom of my own, I love baking treats and putting together tins for the neighbors. My kids help me and call themselves “elves” as they make their way around the neighborhood delivering each one.

    These cookies are incredibly simple to prepare since and can be a great way to get your kids involved with helping bake!

    What cookies are your family favorites? In my house, we have a few must have cookie recipes each Holiday season. They are favorites and an absolute must to include on our trays!
