Andes Peppermint Crunch Cookies

Still channeling 2020 today.  Not that we want to go back in time but going back in time for these cookies could almost be worth it.  Almost! Another wonderful flavor of the holidays is peppermint.  Peppermint on a cold winter's day is really refreshing.  I don't think you will be disappointed by these cookies.  Santa likes them too. 

Look at those beautiful golden cookies.
These are so easy to make.  The andes peppermint pieces are perfect for these cookies.  They melt beautifully.
Start with two sticks softened butter.
Add 1 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup sugar.  Mix well.
Add 1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour.  Mix well. 
1 cup old fashioned oats.  Mix well. 
1 cup sweetened grated coconut.  I chopped it a little in the food processor. 
1 1/2 cups andes peppermint crunch baking chips.  These are usually a seasonal item.
Mix everything well.  Then scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.  
These cookies will spread some so you will want them to be about 2 inches apart. Place in a preheated 300 oven and bake for about 20 minutes. 
The recipe says you can drizzle some dark chocolate across the tops of the cookies but I don't think they need it.
