My Christmas cards have been sealed and sent, my tree is trimmed, the house is decorated. Next on the holiday agenda? Baking cookies!

Thanks in part to Pinterest, I have about 1,001 cookie recipes I want to try out this year. In the interest of not becoming quite as… jolly… as Santa, I decided to stick to just 12 recipes.

So between now and December 25th, I’ll be bringing you 12 Days of Christmas Cookies!!

For my first recipe, I made Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies. Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite combos, especially around the holidays! I love that you can find fun things like mint chocolate chips around this time of year. This recipe was a combination a couple I’ve made before with a few of my own twists. They came out great!
