Peppermint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Got another yummy holiday cookie for you I found at Macaroni and Cheesecake. (I love that blog name!)
Basically it's sugar cookies with a ganache filling and chocolate on top sprinkled with crushed peppermint. It was supposed to have some peppermint extract in the filling but I couldn't find any at my local Wal Mart so instead of store hopping I just skipped it like any good slacker would. The candies on top more than make up for it I'd say.
If you're wanting to make these to share I'd go ahead and double it since it only makes 12.
Go ahead and click on over to Stephanie's site to get the recipe then come on back to see what I got from Foodbuzz and Paul Newman today. I'll wait.
Are you back? Oh good...
Look at all this loot! I couldn't believe it! I already know I love that honey mustard dressing, can't wait to try the rest of it.
