Peppermint Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Festive peppermint double chocolate chip cookies for the perfect holiday treat! Paleo & gluten free makes these the most decadent chocolate treats!

There is no holiday season complete without chocolate peppermint treats! There’s also no season without cookies! So of course I had to combine the two! I have to say that candy canes in anything just make me so happy.. it feels like it’s almost Christmas! Anyone else like that?

I decided to have some fun with baking and made these scrumptious double chocolate chip cookies the other day. For those of you that know, I am a HUUUGEE chocolate girl and love baking chocolate treats! Trust me, it’s good for the heart & soul!

And because I’m One Healthy Avocado and like to take my own healthified twist on a good ol’ classic recipe, these delicious cookies are both paleo and gluten-free! While I personally don’t follow any sort of diet, I sure like to experiment with things so that all my followers can find recipes!
