Chocolate Peppermint Sugar Cookies Recipe
Report
Dipped halfway in white chocolate and coated with peppermint pieces, these chocolate peppermint sugar cookies really stand out!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsalted butter room temperature (3 sticks)
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 2 large egg yolks room temperature
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 35 ounces sugar cookie mix (2 (17.5-ounce) pouches)
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups white chocolate melted
- 1 cup peppermint candies broken into pieces
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high until it is creamy and fluffy. Add the eggs and egg yolks. Beat together for 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and mix.
- Add the sugar cookie mix. Mix together until incorporated. Mix in the cocoa powder until well combined.
- Shape the dough into a rough ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Once cookie dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and unwrap. Pinch off 2-tablespoon-sized pieces and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each. Slightly flatten each ball into discs about 1½ inches in diameter.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. The centers will still be soft.
- Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring often, until fully melted.
- Dip each cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate. Sprinkle immediately with peppermint pieces.
- Let the cookies set at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate peppermint sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
