Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookies

It’s official…I’ve got my Christmas baking on!  And it’s taken everything I had in me not to start until this week!  I figure why not start early, enjoy some treats now, and freeze the rest for later!  Yum.

So every day this week I’m going to share with you what Christmas cookies I’ve been baking!  First up are these Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookies!  They just seemed like the perfect place to start…they’re festive, minty and delicious!

And the BEST thing about them?  You can make half the batch to enjoy now, and freeze the cookie dough for baking later!  Genius for this time of year really!  I love that you can take them out of the freezer as you need them, and then bake them fresh.  Heaven on Earth.

Notes

– When adding the melted chocolate, be careful not to over stir. You want a swirl effect, and if you stir too hard the cookies will just end up chocolate coloured.

– If you are baking these cookies from the freezer, just increase the baking time by about 3-5 minutes.
