‘Tis the season for gifting and self-gifting. Our favorite Levain cookies have a limited-time holiday flavor—Dark Chocolate Peppermint—that we love so much, we’re packing extras in the freezer to last us at least until spring.

Levain is known for its six-ounce jumbo cookie mounds—magnificent cookies that are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

Dark Chocolate Peppermint, available through the end of December, has the company’s signature dark, rich chocolate dough mixed with soft red and white peppermint chips.

The result is cookies that tingle and delight, bursting with seasonal flavor. Every bite says “Joyous Holidays!”

You can buy Dark Chocolate Peppermint cookies (photo #1) alone or in combination with other flavors (photo #2).

And if you’re worried about eating a six-ounce cookie all at once, you can freeze halves or quarters, which are easy to slice and which will be delicious when thawed (or eaten frozen—oh yes, we do!).
 
 
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE? 

In addition to an all Dark Chocolate Peppermint box, you can get a Holiday Assortment that also includes Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip, and Oatmeal Raisin.

We’re not going to bias your choice by relating that our favorites, in addition to Dark Chocolate Peppermint, are Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip and Oatmeal Raisin. That’s just a suggestion for friends and family who don’t know what we want to find under our tree.
