Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

November 23, 2020 By Yummiest Food Leave a Comment

These cookies have a rich brownie fudge taste that truly elevates this cookie-like nothing you have ever had before. They will be one of the first cookies to disappear off your holiday cookie tray. I absolutely love peppermint and chocolate together. They were totally created for each other.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies Recipe

How to Make Hot Chocolate Cookies?

These cookies are so easy to make, gather your ingredients combine all of the dry ingredients, and then add in all of the wet ingredients

Use a tablespoon or scoop dough to scoop the dough at the time and roll the dough in your hand to create balls then transfer to a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing cookies 2-inches apart

Bake them for 10-12 minutes add marshmallow on top and bake them for a couple more minutes

Cool cookies on pan for several minutes then transfer cookies to wire racks and set wire racks over baking sheets

Next, you make the icing:

In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients and mix together until well combined

Spoon a small amount of icing onto the top of each cookie and finally, add holiday crushed peppermint candies on top of each cookie and they are ready to go!

I can’t imagine Christmas without these lovely sweet chocolate cookies.

If you are looking for a cookie to take your Christmas cookie exchange party or a cookie to give to your family and friends this holiday season, I highly recommend these Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies.

They are festive and are guaranteed to be everyone’s new favorite holiday cookie. Happy baking! Enjoy!
