What’s in My Festive Chocolate Chip Cookies with Peppermint Icing?

So guess what, what’s better than these loaded cookies that are filled with all your favorite festive ingredients like cranberries, marshmallows, chocolate chip, and much more.

I added some crushed peppermint toffee too for that ‘Oh la la’ taste and also iced it with some extra peppermint. But feel free to skip or add any other ingredient of your choice.

And did I tell you we got everything from the convenient ‘Dollar General’ which is offering tons of coupons on your festive ingredients.

And if it’s a gameday then it cannot be complete without everyone’s favorite food – Pizza 🙂

So apart from other ingredients, I also picked up the Rising Crust DiGiorno Pizza which bakes super fast and tastes yummm.

I mean pizza + cookie is the perfect combination for any gameday !
