Red Velvet Peppermint Thumbprints

So these cookies have a extremely delicious peppermint base then you offer them an honest sized indention then crammed that with chocolate when they’re area unit baked and cooled. So good.

Peppermint and chocolate is my absolute favorite winter band and if you haven’t tried it however, you actually got to. Plus, I’m pretty positive Santa would love these!
