Delightfully Divine

My husband's birthday is coming up and every year I make something carrot-y for his birthday.  Typically a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, or carrot and cream cookies.  This year I decided I would try something brand new, he loves peppermint, so I wanted to  take a chocolate cookie recipe and infuse peppermint into the mix.  I normally just follow the recipe as printed, but I figured why not push myself this time.  I also had a few marshmallows left over from s'mores, so I threw on a  top just a few cookies for a marshmallow frosting.  I think that turned out pretty good! I would definitely try something like this again, perhaps for Christmastime.  I definitely think that rolling the cookies in them would be an easier cleanup for the cookie sheet, but hey, live and learn!

Materials: ( I adjusted the recipe amounts because I didn't have the full amount of all ingredients)

2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3⁄4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
*peppermint oil - just a drop! (I added)
