I created these melt-in-your-mouth treats for a cookie exchange, and everyone raved about them. My family requests them often, and they're my daughter's favorite cookies. To switch up the flavor, try using different extracts instead of peppermint. -Michelle Kester, Cleveland, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate candy coating
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
