Here I go again...another chocolate peppermint recipe. If you like the combo as much as I do you MUST make these cookies. They are DIVINE....truly a favorite of mine. I got the recipe from Becky Higgin's blog a few years ago and have made them almost every single Christmas.
Brian needed to take a dessert for a Christmas party at work and this was just thing...of course, I kept a few to nibble on today ;) I'd say the recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies. I used the Pampered Chef Medium Scoop
Download Peppermint Crumble Cookies
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 T. water
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Bag of crumbled peppermint pieces (I use Ande’s brand) Not crushed peppermint candy
Melt butter, brown sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and then add chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted. Cool for 10 minutes. Put this in a mixing bowl and beat in 2 eggs. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together and chill for about 45 minutes.
Spoon onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and place on cooling rack. Sprinkle peppermint crumbles on the top of each hot cookie and do not spread. The pieced will get soft at first and then keep their shape once cool.
About these crumbles: You can find them near chocolate chips this time of year. In my grocery store they were also in the special holiday baking section. They only have these specific ones at Christmas so stock up. I got an extra bag to have at Valentines Day :) One bag will cover about two batches of cookies. You can also use Ande's baking chips, or an Ande's mint but they're not quite as pretty as the peppermint crumbles
Yes, you are correct. I have never seen the Peppermint Crunch until now so stocking up for the year is a must; sadly.
Love this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.
