Notes
- Peppermint Pieces: Use peppermint chips (like chocolate chips but peppermint flavored) or Andes Peppermint Baking Bits. Both are sold in the holiday baking aisle during the Christmas season.
- Can't find peppermint pieces or prefer to use extract? Omit baking chips and use 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (NOT mint).
- Omit salt if using salted butter.
