Watch this quick video and you’ll see just how easy it is to make these chocolate studded, glazed peppermint cookies!

 

My favorite time of the year is right around the corner! Holiday baking, gift giving and cookie exchanges! If there’s one thing I look forward to every holiday season, it’s baking.

Growing up, my friend’s mother would bake us homemade cookies every Christmas. She made the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted. One year, there was a surprise, with an assortment of holiday decorated sugar cookies. My mom is an excellent cook but she didn’t bake much so whenever we got homemade goodies, it was always a treat for my brother, sister and I.

I would look forward to that big cookie tin from Mrs. Yoon every year, and every year, we’d eat the entire thing in 2 days.

My love for holiday cookie baking grew as I got older and flourished after I got married and especially after I had kids. My kids love my cookies and I love baking for them!

Double Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today, I made glazed peppermint cookies with chocolate chips. Pure mint extract in the chocolate chip cookie dough with glaze and crushed peppermint candies on top! These cookies are SO good and perfect for the holidays!

Glazed Peppermint Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Peppermint cookies with chocolate chips, a sweet peppermint glaze and crushed peppermint candies on top. The perfect holiday cookie recipe!
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time30 minutes mins
Total Time45 minutes mins
Course: desserts
Cuisine: American
Keyword: chocolate chip cookies, Christmas cookies, holidays, peppermint cookies
Servings: 2 dozen
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint or mint extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar sifted
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 12 peppermint candies crushed, for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prep a parchment lined baking sheet. Using a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment, mix together the butter, sugar and the peppermint extract on medium-high until pale and fluffy, for about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, and then slowly pour in the flour mixture, a little at a time, with the setting on low. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place, 2 inches apart, on your parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, rotating your baking sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to racks and let cool completely.
  • Using a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and start with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the heavy cream, adding more if needed to get the consistency you want. Spread a thin layer of glaze on top of each cookie, or drizzle the glaze, and sprinkle with the crushed peppermint candies. Let dry completely on racks and enjoy!

    It’s cookie exchange time! Yay! And you started with quite a winner. These are gorgeous!
    My mom didn’t really bake, either. I think it’s why I’m so hell-bent on baking for my own kids. Whenever I see a homemade brownie or cookie, I still have that visceral kid’s reaction of sheer delight. It’s probably never going to go away!

I wouldn’t worry about the paleness of the cookie. . but let me know if they are still chewy on the inside. I’m not sure I can provide any suggestions if you are following the recipe exactly. . what flour are you using?
