Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

The month of December screams ALL THINGS PEPPERMINT. I wait all year to enjoy the combo of chocolate and peppermint; I absolutely love it! It’s a flavor combo that just doesn’t feel right any other time of year. Now that we’re shifting our sights to December, I say bring on chocolate and peppermint everything.

Today I’m bringing you the prettiest Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies! Soft chocolate cookies sandwiching peppermint filling and rolled in crushed peppermint candies.

Also, if you have kids, they’ll love eating these cookies as well as helping you make them. My kids were overjoyed to dive into a cookie that is actually two(!) cookies sandwiching frosting. Ha! The joys of the holidays!

These cookies are soft, almost brownie-like. It’s essential to have soft cookies, so the frosting doesn’t squeeze out too much when you bite down. The peppermint filling is the perfect compliment to the fudgy cookies. What gives the filling it’s peppermint flavor is peppermint extract. A little bit of peppermint extract goes a long way! Adjust it to suit your taste.Stack of peppermint sandwich cookies on a white plate.

Notes

I made these cookies with 1 ½ tablespoons of dough, which made a dozen 3-inch cookies. If you'd like your cookies a little smaller, feel free to do so. Just adjust the baking time accordingly, reducing it by several minutes. Be sure not to overbake; the cookies should be soft.
