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…..
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…..
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…..
Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt……
Beat together until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s…..
Scoop dough with a #30 cookie scoop {1 ounce} and place on prepared baking sheet…..
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…..
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. 😉
