Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - Join the WOTV 4 Women Crew for the Holiday Cookie Exchange!  Our experts are sharing their favorite holiday baking recipes including this yummy recipe for a mint-chocolate dipped cookie from baby blogger, Carly Munoz.

Every year my mom and I do a huge holiday bake-a-thon.  This year we spent 13 straight hours in the kitchen making about a dozen different recipes.  We box them all up and pass them out to friends, co-workers, family and our neighbors.  The classic cookie that we always do is a chocolate chip cookie that we dip into mint chocolate.  I'm sure your family will enjoy this as much as we do!  Happy Holidays from my kitchen to yours, Carly.
