This time of year is so crazy you might enjoy these simple chocolate peppermint cookies. These cookies combine chocolate and peppermint in a soft sugar cookie that is festive, easy to make, and Paleo.

Are you going to a party or having a party where you decorate cookies but you don’t want to because “normal” cookies aren’t Paleo? Well, here is the recipe for you. Bring these and decorate them and they will want to try these Paleo sugar cookies! I also think these are a great treat to share with the neighbors.

What does your neighborhood do at holiday time? I don’t know about you, but at our home, we have so many treats coming from left and right and not always things that work with our dietary needs. We have about a week of treats constantly from neighbors all around.

Every holiday season one of our neighbors hosts a party where they have tons of treats at an open house. Before that, they hand out paper white lunch sacks and little candles and everyone on our street lines the street with luminaries. We have loved this tradition and it gives us a great time to spend time with our neighbors.

Christmas caroling is also a fun event for everyone and this year we’re going to bring around a little Christmas tree decoration and some of these Paleo sugar cookies that we’re going to make before caroling. Do you do anything with your neighbors for the holidays? What kind of traditions do you have with them?
