Cookie Week 2023: Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie Week 2023: Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

On day two of cookie week, I made these Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies from Lemons & Zest. I love peppermint and chocolate! If you do too, this is a big winner!

This is an easy cookie dough recipe.

  1. Mix your dry ingredients

  2. Beat your sugar and butter until smooth

  3. Add egg and vanilla, and beat again until incorporated

  4. Mix in your dry ingredients until well combined

  5. Add in crushed candy canes and chocolate chips (I used milk and dark because I don’t like white chocolate)

  6. Chill your dough

When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven and scoop your dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. I used a scoop that holds around a TBS I think, the small scoop on the right in the picture below. Bake!

After they’ve cooled enough to handle, enjoy!
