Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Monday, November 5, 2012

We love Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies during Christmas. I'm a mint and chocolate aholic when the temperature drops so these definitely hit the spot.

Peppermint Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, and chewy with a crispy edge. It's a double chocolate mocha with peppermint, chocolate chips, and peppermint pieces.

They are perfect for dipping in hot chocolate or milk, while snuggled up next to the fireplace. Plus Santa's sure to love them! 

Here's how to make Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe...

Chocolate Chips and butter in saucepan for Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Melt:
  • 3/4 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips 
Over medium heat in a small saucepan while stirring constantly until smooth.

Melted chocolate and sugar for Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Add melted chocolate to a mixing bowl and add 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar. Beat until combined.

Coffee Granules

Add to the chocolate mixture:
  • 3 teaspoons Coffee Granules
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
 Beat until combined.

3 Eggs in Peppermint Chocolate Batter for Cookies in mixing bowl.

Add all 3 eggs and beat until well combined.

Stir in your remaining 2 cups chocolate chips.

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls with crushed soft peppermint candies on top.

Scoop cookies onto a parchement or silpat lined baking sheet using a medium sized cookie scoop and sprinkle with crushed soft peppermint candies. 

Tip: I made 2 different sized cookies one using my standard sized cookie scoop and then for larger cookies I made a double scoop of dough and rolled them into a ball together. For standard sized cookies bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set. For larger cookies I baked mine 12-15 minutes or until set.

Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

  10. My cookies were nice and soft after taking them out of the oven. The next day they turned super hard. They have to be dunked in milk or coffee or you might chip a tooth. Why did this happen? Help??

    1. I am sorry your cookies turned so hard the next day. I have not run into this problem with this recipe myself, but my first guess would be they were over cooked. Did you bake the cookies for the minimum time or the maximum? I would try to cut down the baking time if you make the cookies again, everyone's ovens so different it defiantly could have affected the baking time. I hope this helps and you have a wonderful Holiday.

    1. Hi Michelle, If you don't have instant coffee you could just leave it out. Have a wonderful day!
