chocolate chip peppermint crunch cookies

December 12, 2011 by Taylor Leave a Comment

This recipe was submitted by my mom for Merry Monday’s Christmas cookie theme.  They are a festive twist on chocolate chip cookies, stuffed with Peppermint Crunch Junior Mints and topped with candy canes.  I can’t wait to try them – she promised me she would freeze some for me for when I come home for Christmas!   

Chocolate Chip Peppermint Crunch Cookies
recipe from Two Peas in their Pod, made by Taylor’s mom
3 3/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
2 boxes (3.5 ounce) Peppermint Crunch Junior Mints
6 large candy canes, crushed
Sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Tuck 1 Peppermint Crunch Junior Mint into about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough. Form into a ball and roll into crushed candy cane pieces. Place cookies on baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until edges just start to turn golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
