1. Peppermint Bark

Full of both white and dark chocolate and peppermint, this cookie is one of my personal favorites that comes out around the holidays. The crushed candy canes makes it feel like Christmas is just around the corner. It is very easy to make, taking only a little over to make for those in a rush to get something done right before a party!
