Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Cookies Recipe). I developed these cookies over the past two Christmases, testing and retesting until they were perfect. They are super pretty, rich, and chewy from the additions of mini marshmallows and hot chocolate mix with just the right amount of peppermint flavor from the crushed candy canes. They are also the perfect accompaniment to a steaming mug of hot cocoa on a snowy day.
