It's Christmas evening and I'm sitting around the fire at my parent's
house with my favorite baking partners: my sister Abby and my babysitter Katie, a family friend. We're mulling over
that question that irks every girl who got a couple of new baking toys and has a Costco bag of chocolate chips to use
up: what, exactly, should I bake?
That's when I remembered Heidi's recipe for peppermint bark chocolate chip cookies. What a great way to use leftover Christmas candy! (Or, an excuse to hit those post-Christmas 50%-off sales.) You needn't stop at peppermint bark, either - try chopping up any number of leftover chocolate-based confections. We're planning on experimenting with the recipe over the next few days. Anyone else out there baking tonight?
