Red Velvet Peppermint Cookies

Wooo! Day 10! 15 days until Christmas! I still have about 12 more recipes to pull together before Christmas as well. I planned on baking yesterday, but unfortunately my car decided to stop working. We had an unplanned playdate with the cousins while my husband and brother-in-law fixed it. The upside of the day was I got caught up on laundry and got the house cleaned. The downside is I didn’t get any cookies made! There’s always tomorrow. So for today’s cookie I have a little red velvet and peppermint mixed together. They turned out pretty good. The kids liked these.
