My Elf Style Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies are inspired by a holiday movie favorite. Mini chocolate chip cookies (elf sized) studded with peppermint and a touch of maple syrup!
The movie Elf is a holiday favorite in our house and I made an "elf-sized" (maybe not Buddy sized!) chocolate chip cookie inspired by this funny flick.
My Elf Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies are loaded with chocolate, peppermint baking chips, and a touch of maple syrup inspired by Buddy the Elf's favorites.
These cookies are really easy to make, freeze wonderfully, and perfect for a holiday movie party.
