Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

Are you guys getting sick of all the cookies recipes I’m sharing yet? Well hopefully not because I still have another to share and who knows, maybe even more after that. It’s what the first few weeks of December were made for right? Cookies cookies cookieeeees!

Perfect for the Holidays!

I love making a variety of cookies during the holidays and there always need to be a chocolate cookie of some kind right? I’ve had hot chocolate cookies on my to-do list for probably the last 4 years and I’ve finally gotten around to trying them. But I decided to add a peppermint twist to them because I love the chocolate and peppermint combination.

A Rich Chocolate Flavor

I love that the base for these cookies is packed with chocolate. Not just cocoa but a lot of chopped chocolate. It gives them a rich flavor and a chewy, fudgy texture. They’re almost like a brownie cookie.

One thing these cookies really remind me of is Mississippi Mud Cake. It’s that chocolate base, marshmallow and chocolate icing combination. I think I’d also love these cookies drizzled with chocolate in place of the icing. Don’t get me wrong the icing is delicious but next time I might try chocolate. The more chocolate the better, right?

Try them Melty and Warm!

Just be sure to enjoy a few of these cookies warm. They are of course still good for a couple of days but they are total perfection when you ice them warm from the oven and eat a couple right away – they’re more like hot chocolate that way too.

This is just straight up goodness in cookie form my friends and you don’t want to miss out on these Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies! Your busy holiday weeks need a break, so take a breather and make a batch of cookies.
