Brownie Peppermint Cookies
Sorry to anyone following my blog, I know this is just another one of my chocolate cookie recipes in a row. I love the brownie cookie I guess. Anyone not following and just stopping by may also like Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies or Marshmallow Brownie Cookies. They all basically start out with the same cookie dough and are topped differently or with other ingredients mixed into the chewy chocolate flavor base. It is a delicious cookie even on its own. I love this holiday version of it! Peppermint and chocolate are divine together! I hope you enjoy this holiday cookie as much as I do! Make sure you save it in your Christmas cookie recipes folder.

I recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and using a cookie scoop to make uniform-sized cookie dough balls. Room temperature dough is easier to scoop and shape, but chilling tablespoons of dough in the fridge before baking helps them maintain their shape on your prepared cookie sheets. Be sure to move cookies to a cooling rack or other wire rack to avoid overbaking. These cookies are delicious warm from the oven, but I think I prefer them chilled! Store these in an airtight container in the fridge, and be sure to try them dunked into your favorite hot chocolate.
