Are you in search of the perfect Christmas Cookie? These Peppermint Chocolate Cookies are it. They are a slightly crunchy chocolate peppermint wafer cookie, dipped or topped with delicious peppermint flavored chocolate, and sprinkled with goodness. These are the perfect holiday cookie! And will disappear quick because they are delicious.

Chocolate and peppermint, these cookies are ideal for the holidays. Christmas cookies for the win.

It is holiday cookie season, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. There is just something magical about celebrating the holidays with decadent cookies, and these top the list amongst my favorites. This recipe is actually from Sally’s Baking Addiction, it is her copycat thin mint recipe, but I changed it up a little, in the method of preparation, as well as the size and end result. And I added a special ingredient. If you’re looking for another delicious cookie option try these no bake cookies!

I love a good thin mint cookie, but I wanted BIG, and beautiful Christmas cookies, and that is what I got with these. Plus, did I mention they are pretty easy? The hardest part is rolling them out. Luckily I had my mom around, and she is an expert with a rolling pin, and helped me whip them out quick. Marble rolling pins are great because they prevent sticking. These cookies do require some chilling. And they do have one very special addition: Vital Proteins!

Protein added to Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

I love Vital Proteins for so many reasons. And I have shared all year long why they are so important to me. Not only are they great for your bone and joint health, your hair, and more, they are odorless and flavorless, which means I can add them to literally any recipe, including Christmas cookies, and add a little protein to the diet of my picky eater child. If that isn’t a win, I don’t know what is.

Chocolate peppermint cookies

This particular cookie recipe stole my heart.

I love how delicious these Peppermint Chocolate Cookies are, I love how well they keep in the freezer, and I love how well they embody the holiday for me! I will definitely be leaving these out for Santa, and enjoying every last crumb. But did I mention they are also super easy to change up to your personal preference? One of my favorite things about these is having fun decorating them. Watch this cute video where I top them 4 different ways!

 

This dough is also pretty forgiving. Not sure if you noticed, but I totally forgot to add my baking powder until the end. So I just mixed it on it, and all was good. Making Cookies is a Christmas tradition, and these Peppermint Chocolate Cookies also make great cookie exchange cookies, and neighbor gift cookies. I found these super cute Christmas plates I will be using to send out all of my cookies on this year. They are sturdy and simple. The addition of the protein, while not necessary for the cookies to work, just makes them that much better. We all know we are going to over-indulge a little during the holidays, so this helps me feel just a tiny bit better about eating half a dozen cookies in one sitting…uh…I mean two!
