Peppermint Bark Cookies
Report
My peppermint bark cookies combine chewy, chocolatey cookies with melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes. They take just 30 minutes to make without a mixer and require NO chilling! Recipe includes a how-to video!

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into Tbsp-sized pieces
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cups light brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 large egg yolk lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons natural cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips optional
For dipping
- 10 oz premium white chocolate chips (about 1 ⅔ cup)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening or coconut oil
- ½ cup Crushed candy canes I used 10 crushed mini canes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine butter and 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir, repeating at 15 second increments until chocolate and butter are completely melted.
- Remove from microwave and allow to cool at least 10 minutes or until mixture no longer feels warm to the touch before proceeding.
- Once butter/chocolate mixture has cooled, stir in sugars, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and peppermint extracts.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until completely combined.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Drop cookie dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon scoop onto parchment paper, pressing down slightly to flatten.
- Bake 9 minutes, allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to cookie rack to cool completely before dipping in chocolate.
- Prepare white chocolate by placing in medium-sized microwave-safe bowl with shortening or coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir, then continue to microwave in 15-second increments (stirring well in-between) until chocolate is completely melted.
- Dip cookies ⅓-½ of the way in white chocolate and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Allow chocolate to harden before enjoying.
