Double Chocolate Mint Cookes

 
Three double chocolate mint cookies, stacked
This recipe came from a cookbook that I just received from Tate’s Bake Shop.  The first time I had ever heard of Tate’s was in a Rachael Ray magazine where they rated best chocolate chip cookies.  Since I fancy myself a bit of a chocolate chip connoisseur I was intrigued.
But sometimes the universe works in funny ways and I was contacted by the nice people over at Tate’s not only to sample their cookies, but also to take a gander at their new cookbook.
The cookbook is not picture heavy..something I usually prefer, but instead is loaded with recipes that they serve right in their sweet Hampton’s shop ~ no copy-cat recipes here!
I thought I would try the season appropriate Double Chocolate Mint cookies for the maiden baking voyage.
They turned out to be the perfect combo of chocolate and mint…just a touch of the minty and loads of chocolate.

  1. I would keep the cookbook for myself, and share the cookies (The ones I won, and the ones I make 🙂 )

  2. Nice giveaway, and nice chocolate peppermint cookies!
    I'd keep everything myself to share with family when they arrive!

  3. The book would go to my sweet niece who has become quite an accomplished baker. I will miss her when she goes away to college in May but I know she will share her favorite recipes from the book with her old aunt.

  4. I would share! My dad loves to bake as much as I do so I would gift the cookbook to him and share the cookies with the rest of the family.
    Love your blog!
