The warmth of a cup of hot chocolate. The zing of a little peppermint. All in a cookie. That PS is gluten free and vegan. This cookie puts it together with all of the flavor, but none of the sugar crash. Eat it. Dunk it. Take it to a cookie exchange. Leave it out for Santa. Just don't call it ordinary. I know you want the recipe...
