Ingredients
-
1 pkg My Better Batch Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Mix
- 8 TBSP Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1 Large Egg
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the My Better Batch Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Mix with 8 tablespoons of softened, unsalted butter and one egg.
Mix using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or knead by hand until the dough comes together, rich and chocolatey with a hint of cool peppermint. This process will take 2-3 minutes.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop two tablespoons of the dough into rounded balls.. Place them on your prepared baking sheet about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers will still look slightly soft - this helps keep that irresistible chewy texture. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack (or before taste testing).

Recipe Note
Make It Festive
Take your Chocolate Peppermint Cookies to the next level with a few simple, festive touches. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with melted white chocolate and finish with a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy for a beautiful holiday sparkle! Or add snowflake sprinkles to embrace the winter season.
Perfect Pairings
Bring out the best in every bite of your Chocolate Peppermint Cookies with these simple, delicious pairings:
- Hot Cocoa: Double down on the chocolatey goodness with a classic mug of hot cocoa topped with whipped cream or marshmallows.
- Peppermint Latte: The cool mint in the cookies pairs perfectly with the creamy sweetness of a peppermint latte for a festive afternoon pick-me-up.
- Cold Milk: You can’t go wrong with the timeless duo—rich, chewy cookies and an ice-cold glass of milk.
- Black Tea or Coffee: A warm, slightly bitter drink like coffee or strong black tea balances the sweetness beautifully.
- Holiday Dessert Board: Mix and match with sugar cookies, shortbread, or chocolate truffles for a stunning dessert spread or giftable cookie box.
Each pairing enhances the deep cocoa flavor and refreshing peppermint finish that make these cookies a holiday favorite.
