Instead of adding the peppermint oil directly to the dough, I filled a plastic bag with plain choco chips and added drops of the oil to the bag, shaking it really well and tasting the chips until I got just the right amount of minty-ness!

@Annie...@Karen, yes, my friend, I think we do! ;-)<br /><br />@Annie, These cookies will still be super tasty if you use normal chocolate chips. Perhaps add extra nane aroma. Taste the dough and see what you think. You'll still get the nice flavor combo of mint & chocolate together. Merry Christmas too!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-43092015287343300912012-12-17T03:14:09.605-05:002012-12-17T03:14:09.605-05:00@Ozlem, thanks!

...@Ozlem, thanks! Happy holiday baking to you too!<br /><br />@Ann-Katrin, glad you enjoyed! Good luck cleaning out the freezer. Ours is full of pork and cheese.<br /><br />@Amy, no need to hesitate. I've used badem yagi (almond oil) when I made my spritz cookies. It's fairly concentrated just like the small Dr. Oetker bottles you can buy at the store. Just add and taste & adjust accordingly. :-)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-76938196944059245102012-12-16T01:31:52.236-05:002012-12-16T01:31:52.236-05:00Hey Joy!

Instead of venturing over to the Spice Bazaar, I stopped at my nearby aktar and asked if they had nane aroması that I could use for cooking. They told me that the oil could be used but just a few drops as it is so concentrated. A quick online search shows me that indeed peppermint oil can be used in cooking but I was wondering if you had any experience with using essential oils this way. I'm a bit hesitant. Thank you!Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-13027420321658743092012-12-14T09:35:37.244-05:002012-12-14T09:35:37.244-05:00Thanks for posting!
