I couldn’t let the holidays go by without posting at least once more peppermint recipe. These chocolate peppermint bark cookies are the best of both worlds . . .cookies and the combo of chocolate/peppermint, I love them both and hopefully you will too.
Your cookie exchanges may be over, but that’s no excuse not to make these cookies. If you’ve never had a Dove Promise chocolate you are missing out. They are amazing and probably one of my favorite chocolates. The peppermint bark promises are amazing! Throw them in some chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough and you have a total holiday party going on in your mouth.
P.S. The dough is amazing and slightly addicting!

these are SOOOOOO good!!they are heaven! They are already halfway gone =)
Thanks Annie! So glad you liked them.
How soft should they be? I baked then fur 10 minutes at 350, but they don’t feel like they are done. I did use insulated pans, so maybe that makes a difference.
…them for… Sorry.
It just depends on how soft or crispy you want the cookies. After 10 mins, they may not look done when you take them out, but they set up as they cool. Let me know how they turn out.
Thanks – I went with the 10 minutes and swore they weren’t done, but they did set up nicely, as you said. I thought they were better on day two, and they are mostly gone! Thanks!
I’m so glad they turned out for you Erin. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
