Two questions: 1. can I just use peppermint extract, and if so, how much; 2. Will parchment work for lining the cookie sheets? I will also make my favorite cinnamon-sugar biscotti and wrap them in coffee mugs for christmas presents. Aren't I domestic! I want to make these for Christmas presents.

I just made a batch today and you can view them on my blog. They are not for the faint of palate...very rich with a dark bitter chocolatey almost burnt taste! What do you think? <blockquote>espresso and dark chocolate are definitely a favorite! Thanks for the cute marshmallow mention on your site! I must get that flavor guide going... --McAuliflower</blockquote> Ah the partnership of mint and chocolate as well as the orange/chocolate partnership,both are yummy, however, let me pose another biscotti flavor….espresso/dark chocolate!
