Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cookies

These chocolate peppermint cookies were a big hit, everyone just loved them! I saw a recipe for Brrrr-ownies here at Pastry Heaven that looked to die for! They were a Dorie Greenspan brownie recipe with chunks of York Peppermint Patty's running throughout them. I was originally going to make the brownies but I didn't have all of the ingredients so I thought I would make these chocolate cookies that I love and add the patty's to it. I really like these cookies because they are very reminiscent to brownies and brownies are my favorite. These are a mix between a brownie and a cookie. They are really moist, fudgey and soft and the york peppermint patty's melt into the cookie and make them slightly gooey and the cool peppermint patty chunks go so well with the chocolate cookie. Yummy!
