These sweet Peppermint Mocha Cookies stay soft for days, making them the perfect treat to make for Christmas cookie trays or exchanges.

As soon as Walmart started carrying the Andes peppermint crunch pieces, I have been baking with them. I love those pink chips! I also can't get enough pudding cookies. This past spring I made Peanut Butter Pudding cookies, and they became my all time favorite cookie. Until now...
I have had a jar of Nutella in my cupboard just waiting to be used. I subbed the spread for the peanut butter and added those yummy peppermint pieces for a new Christmas cookie.
As soon as I ate one fresh from the oven, I was in cookie heaven. These are my absolute favorite cookies now!
I need to stock up on more of those Andes chips so that I can make these year-round. I knew these cookies would be the perfect ones to share in a cookie swap.
These delicious fudgey cookies stay soft for days, so they were a great choice to send out in the mail. Three dozen of these cookies went in the mail. Then I ate the rest while I waited to see what yummy ones I would get back.
Now, excuse me, I have half a jar of Nutella and one last bag of Andes crunch pieces. So I'm feeling the urge to bake another batch of these peppermint mocha pudding cookies!!!
I'd better get out my fat pants too, because I know I will be eating way too many!!
