Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Homemade cookies from scratch are so delicious, but sometimes you just need the convenience of pre-made ready-to-bake cookies. Unlike a lot of regular cookies you can get at the store, they still get the soft middles of freshly baked cookies, but without all the time and effort.

We spotted these chocolate peppermint cookies made by Immaculate in the after-Christmas sale at Target. For $1.75, they were a great deal! Much cheaper than what you would usually pay for ready-to-bake cookies, and they were all natural ingredients (according to the packaging). Like most other cookies of their type, they were really easy to make. Just break apart the refrigerated cookie squares, pop them in the oven, and 15 minutes later you have warm, soft, chewy cookies.


Unfortunately, we didn't love them. There wasn't much chocolate flavor, at least not the chocolately fudgy taste that we were expecting. In his first bites, A didn't taste either chocolate or mint, just some not great flavor that is really hard to describe. The more we ate of the cookies, the more we tasted the mint (but not the chocolate). The mint got a little too intense for M and it was kind of a turn-off from the cookies. It tasted like there was just too much mint extract poured in to the mix. These cookies were a good deal but we wouldn't get these again.
