I am in full blown Christmas all the things mode. Peppermint mochas, baking up a storm, decorating the house (and buying too many sparkly decorations – oops!), listening to all the Pandora Christmas stations, shopping for presents, etc. It’s all just so fun!

I found white chocolate peppermint M&M’s and these fun red and green chocolate chips at the grocery store, and couldn’t get home fast enough to bake something!

My kids wanted cookies, and the idea for these Peppermint M&M Christmas Cookies popped into my head.

My youngest boys helped me make these while we sipped on the World’s Best Homemade Hot Chocolate, and sang and danced to some Christmas music. Oh what fun!

When my older 3 kids got home from school, they quickly smelled that I had been baking, and ran to the kitchen to test a few cookies. What good little helpers 😉

They all gave these cookies 2 thumbs up and I have a feeling we will be making them every year! I think Santa would love a plate of these Peppermint M&M Christmas Cookies, too!
