These soft and chewy Mint Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies are dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with even more mint pieces! An easy, festive cookie!
It’s that time of year again, when many of you are eager for snow and Christmas, and peppermint everything, and the rest of you are clinging to fall leaves, thanksgiving feels, and pumpkin recipes galore!
If I’m being honest, I am definitely starting to feel the holiday spirit, and that is reflected in my baking these days!
This 5 Minute Mint Chocolate Fudge is one of our favorites and is so ridiculously easy to make! No Bake Mint Oreo Cheesecake Pie is frequently requested my one of my sons, and is the ultimate pie for mint lovers! this is such a great Christmas dessert because it doesn’t even require an oven!
These Mint Fudge Stuffed Brownies are just as dreamy and indulgent as they sound. Another family favorite!
I seem to get excited for Christmas earlier and earlier each year. Part of that, I’m sure, is because I’m a food blogger and like to have lots of festive dessert recipes for you to choose from when you’re ready to start your holiday baking.
Also, having young children makes the season all the more enjoyable. Seeing the excitement and wonder our six children have this time of year is so much fun. I know our years with them at this stage are so brief – I want to soak it all in for as long as I can!
One thing they all love to do with me is bake! We make lots of cookies, candies, fudge, and pie during November and December. This year we kicked off the holiday baking with these incredible Mint Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies! Oh my word, trust me and put these on your must-make list ASAP!
PRO TIPS AND QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THIS MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE:
-
Can I substitute margarine for butter in this cookie recipe? No. Margarine and butter are very different, and will not produce the same results. Always use real butter for the best texture and flavor in all baked goods.
-
Can these cookies be made in advance and frozen? Yes! These freeze beautifully and will keep for 3 months in a well sealed freezer bag.
-
PRO TIP: Before dipping the cookies in chocolate, place them in the freezer for an hour. This will help prevent any cookies from breaking and will keep crumbs out of the melted chocolate!
