Do you have a go to cookie recipe you make every year?

For my mom, it’s Sea Foam Cookies. For my cousin, it’s Fruit Cake Cookies. For me, it’s Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ever since I was a little girl I was fascinated by this flavor combo. I made these for my birthday in 5th grade  (although I overbaked them a little!) & they are always the cookie I leave for Santa!

This version is slightly updated with your choice of icing or white chocolate. 

Chocolate chip cookies receive a makeover just in time for Christmas! These Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies include crushed candy canes and a sweet topping.

Here are some tips for perfect cookies:

  • Crush candy canes in a food processor. Strain extra ground candy canes.
  • Make small batches of cookies. This helps all the cookies bake evenly.
  • Don’t handle the dough too much. This can cause unequal cookie quality.

Happy Holidays!
