Peppermint Dark Chocolate Chunk Puddle Cookies
I came up with this recipe over the holidaze, but didn’t get a chance to post them. Be sure to put them in the holiday rotation for next year though, these gluten-free, dairy-free cookies taste like a chewier, healthier, heartier version of a Thin Mint—a crowd pleaser as most of us know.

The ’lil cottage is magical and I enjoy spending time here, not only for the fresh air, quiet and evening fires in the chiminea, but for the inspiration that comes in serendipitous ways.
