Mint Chocolate Pixies

Mint Chocolate Pixies

My son and I decided to make some chocolate pixies with mint since it was cold and rainy outside today. They were super simple and fun to make and they made the house smell fantastic. My son loved them and my daughter told me they are her new VERY favorite cookie EVER. I must say, they turned out moist, minty, and so delicious.

  1. Oh. I die. Im totally freakishly into everything with mint. and mint/chocolate? Mm. I die times two.
    My only 'hmm?' is what powdered sugar is. I wonder if its possible to even buy here in Sweden. And the peppermint extract, is that something you buy in a normal grocery store? Feels like it might be harder to get in Stockholm. But I will give it a try to find. Wanna.eat.minty.cookies!
