Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies

December 17, 2015

These Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies are fun and easy way to make a large amount of festive treats. Perfect for cookie exchanges.

Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies //

We are just days away from school being out and all of the holiday fun to begin. Like many of you, the last couple weeks leading up to the holiday break are packed full of performances, gift exchanges, and class room parties….not to mention a cookie exchange or two thrown into the mix. For the past few years, I have attended one of my dear friends fun and festive cookie exchanges. Her rules are simple…7-9 dozen of the same cookie. Homemade and in the comments of the Evite, she monitors to make sure we all have a variety of cookies to share. 7-9 dozen cookies you say….crazy right!?, but not so crazy once you have attended one of her parties. Every year she rounds up all of the wrapping (bags, bells, boxes, and tags) so you can create gifts for teachers, neighbors, friends, heck even for the mailman, and sets them out on a large table. Once you do your rounds of picking all of the 7-9 dozen cookies you need, you sit down with a celebratory drink and start wrapping cookies in the prettiest of ways.

It’s a fun way to visit with friends, meet new ones, and find a new favorite cookie or two. This year, like last year, I be bringing these yummy and simple, Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies. The recipe calls for a few ingredients, but the kicker is that it makes approximately 112 cookies. The perfect recipe for an exchange as it is only one batch of cookies, and best of all I made mine ahead of time and was able to freeze the dough.

Every year I leave this cookie exchange; happy, festive, and accomplished. Sara and I hope you like this recipe and try it over the next week with your kiddos, as we are sure they will love the sweet combo of peppermint candy and chocolate chips. Let us know what you think?, we hope you bake a batch before company arrives.

    Candy Cane Bar Cookies1 cup butter (2 stkics)1 cup white granulated sugar1 egg14 teasp. Peppermint extract12 teasp. Salt23 cup finely crushed miniture candy canes (measure after crushing)6 drops red food coloring2 cups packed flour1 cup chocolate chips (6 oz. bag)2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz. bag)Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute 30 seconds on high. Set it on the counter to cool.Place the sugar in the bowl add the egg, and beat with a mixer until it’s a uniform color.Add the peppermint extract, salt, and finely crushed minitature candy canes. Mix it all up.Add the 6 drops of red food coloring. Mix it in thoroughly.Feel the bowl with the butter. If you can cup your hands around it comfortably, you can add it to your mixing bowl now. Mix it in slowly at low speed. If it’s still too warm to add, wait until it’s cooler and then do it.Add the flour in half cup increments, beating after each addition.Stir in one cup chocolate chips by hand.Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9-13 inch pan. Bake at 350% for 25 minutes or until it feels firm on the top.Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle it with the remaining two cups of chocolate chips. Immediately cover with a inverted cookie sheet. Let it sit for three minutes. Then take of the cookie sheet, and spread out the melted chips like frosting with a spatula.Cool completely and then cut into brownie sized squares.

    WOW! I made these tonight and they are divine. I love peppermint and chocolate! I am storing the extra cookies in Infinity Jars for long lasting freshness so that I can indulge myself in this heavenly taste. I am planning to use less sugar and peppermint essential oil next time. https://infinityjars.com/collections/screw-top-jars
