These delicious cookies are an absolute winner with my friends! Chocolate, peppermint, and a much healthier alternative to the original – what’s not to love!! You will need my Coconut Butter recipe to make these cookies.

Notes
  1. NB. They will keep in an airtight container for 3 or so days, however I like to keep mine in the fridge. They will go all fudgy once in the fridge.
