Fudgy Peppermint Cookies

The weather has been beautiful this week, a little cooler and less humid. It is really starting to feel like fall. We enjoyed it by playing outside.

I taught a fun essential oils class at my house last night and served these delicious cookies. They were a hit! I adapted a recipe for basic double chocolate cookies that I found on foodnetwork.com.

yield: about 20 cookies

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 drops dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl stir together flour, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl beat together butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla, peppermint, and cocoa. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips and stir to distribute evenly.

For cookies: Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets and bake 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool a couple of minutes on the pan, then remove to foil or a cooling rack.
