Peppermint has taken over this holiday season. I am officially rebelling! Does anyone else always get one of those chocolate oranges in their stocking? You know, the ones you have to whack real awkwardly on the table or floor and hope you are strong enough to separate all the pieces? Well, you don’t have to whack these cookies J

I'm just enjoying my tea when I saw your cookies, and now I want some, but technology doesn't allow us to transfer food through the cables, neither smells…it's so bad.
