Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies with Starlight Peppermint Cream
"These are the most decadent fudgiest cookies you will ever eat. I think of them as a cookie that eats like a brownie. Starlight peppermints have been a favorite of mine since childhood. My mom and I would start making candy wreaths in September so we could give everyone in our neighborhood "a Starlight gift"..."
