No one will be able to resist these Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, they are holiday perfection! cookingwithcurls.com

I hope you’re not tired of peppermint yet, because I have one more delicious Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies recipe to share with you this year! Personally, I never get tired of peppermint. I order Peppermint Mochas year round, I just wish that I could buy these White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s® year round! I might head out to the store tomorrow and buy up all of the leftover bags before they are all gone…..

No one will be able to resist these Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, they are holiday perfection! cookingwithcurls.com

These cookies are insanely good! Soft, chewy, and chocolaty with a punch of peppermint from the M&M’s…..Yum!! As you probably guessed from the name, they are packed full of chocolate…..

If you are a fan of chocolate and peppermint you are going to LOVE these Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies! cookingwithcurls.com

They would be just as delicious with any flavored M&M’s, but these are definitely my favorite. 🙂

How to make Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liner and set aside. Beat butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl until light and fluffy…..

I sprinkled some with crushed candy canes, some with candy cane shaped decorations, and some with additional M&M’s. Bake until set, but still soft and chewy, about 18 minutes…..

Every holiday cookie platter needs to include these delicious Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies! cookingwithcurls.com

Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes on baking sheet, then move to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in a sealed container.

Notes:

  • If I can’t find anymore M&M’s at the store, I will still make them with white chocolate M&M’s or white chocolate chunks, and 3/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract. 😉
