Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

We love our Raddish Kids Cooking Subscription Box that comes to our doorstep each month. The boys (all 3 of them) love to cook and look forward to the cute little box arriving. This month, we made Chocolate Peppermint Cookies and they were SO good! They’ve already requested to make another batch. Maybe we’ll do that this week since we’re on Christmas break. Christmas baking is one of our favorite things to do together. (use code z6pjpf to receive $10 off your subscription of Raddish Kids)
