Dark Chocolate and Mint Chip Clouds
Dark Chocolate and Mint Chip CloudsThese are similar to my festive Peppermint Meringues, Black and White Chocolate Chip Clouds, Sprinkle Dipped Meringues and Gluten Free S’more tartlets with Meringue Topping.
We’ve been making chocolate chip clouds for quite a long time in my house, my oldest daughter who is quite the baker, always makes them, not because they are light (she’s too young to care about calories) but because they are so good. And, since her BFF has Celiac, these are the perfect gluten-free cookies to share.
They are light and airy and melt in your mouth. I think they even get better with time, and they last quite a while if stored in an airtight container.
When I saw these Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels in Target, I knew I had to make these! They are the perfect addition to your Holiday Cookie Swaps.
