This classic cookie with crushed peppermint candy canes will be a family favorite! Bet you won’t be able to east just one of these Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies! 

 

Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies - The Foodie Affair

 

These Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies have official been added to our growing list of favorite holiday cookies! I actually made these for the first time last season and was anxious to make them again since everyone loved them!

Chocolate chip cookies are always a hit on their own, and when you add some peppermint extract with crushed candy canes, you’ll have a classic cookie with a rocking festive twist to add to your dessert tray!

After mixing up the dough for this recipe I realized I only had one cup of chocolate chips and another of chocolate chunks, so I mixed the two. What a great way to stumble on a scrumptious combination!

Biting into those extra thick pieces of chocolate with peppermint flavor popping though the cookie is divine, especially when it comes right out of the oven! I’m pretty sure that if you leave these cookies out for Santa there won’t be a crumb left behind!

You also might consider making this Peppermint Mocha White Russian…for Santa 😉
