Always excellent!
I added 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and reduced the flour by that much plus added a bit more flour while mixing everything together since the mixture was a little goo-ier than I would have liked it to be. Since I love chocolate, all the chocolate is scrumptious!! The peppermint candy is just the right amount not overpowering at all. I feel like the cookie needs a drizzle glaze on top which I might end up doing next time. I cooked the cookies on parchment paper for 8 min. Beyond that time made them too crunchy and the edges became dark. Absolutely a new addition to my Christmas cookie collection. They are super yummy, soft inside and a nice combo of chocolate and peppermint.
These are dangerous. We used Ande’s mint chips along with the others and I added a full cup of them. I also cut out 1/4 cup of flour and told my son to measure out 1/4 cup cocoa powder. It wound up being closer to 1/2 cup, but it worked out great. It starts out as your basic chocolate chip recipe, but the mint is just so… Amazing. And replace a bit of flour with cocoa. Best. Mint. Cookie. Ever.
These cookies are so good. Soft, chocolatey for sure and just delicious! I tried making the batter without chocolate chips and I put in just cocoa powder. Very good!
These cookies are amazing! I found that (after doing it almost 5 times!!) it is best to cook them for 8 minutes… I also tried without the chocolate chips and just the cocoa powder… It was magnificent!! My kids love them almost as much as I do!!
Substituted 1/2 cup Hershey’s Cocoa baking powder in place of flour. Used crushed hard peppermint candy. We loved it!! Will definitely make it again!!
I used white chocolate chips and 2 cut up hershey bars and took the advice about adding 1/2 cup of cocoa (only 2 cups flour). I prefer to use butter flavor shortening instead of butter (not flat that way) and cooked at 350 for 8 minutes – viola Perfect! Thank you Stacy for an awesome Christmas cookie treat
I added 1/2 c cocoa and used a bag of semi-sweet chips and a bag of Andes baking pieces. I baked them for 9 minutes and let them sit on the pan for 4 minutes then cooled on racks. The cookies turned out delicious and didn’t last long at all!
Very good!!! i added an extra cup of flour to the recipe bc it seemed too runny, and it was fabulous!!! soft and yummy.
I used peppermint chocolate chips instead of peppermint candy and it was fabulous. They were big, soft, and chewy, with the perfect texture!
Great Cookies!We replaced 1/4 cup of flour with coco powder makes them more chocolatey and yummy!Every one loves them!
I did this slightly differently I added 2pkgs Swiss Miss cocoa mix and it was awesome
i made these and used the andes chocolate chips along with the others and they turned out great.
I did not care for this recipe.
I changed this recipe a little, I used 1 cup of those new peppermint chips available in the baking aisle and 1.5 cups of milk choc chips in place of the 2 c semi-sweet and .5 cup of soft peppermint candy, all other ingredients remain the same. The cookies are fabulous and I will probably have to make more than one batch! Didn’t run at all!
This is so Yummy, I have made it for a friends birthday it was a hitwith the kids of all ages.
I had some soft crushed peppermint sticks I wanted to use up so was happy to find this recipe, but it wasn’t a favorite. They were easy enough to make, but spread more than I liked. Wanted to give them as Christmas gifts, but I don’t think so.
