Looking to get your creative Christmas cookie baking on? These Red Velvet Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies are big on flavor and super easy to make!
I love mint. Not that spearmint or wintergreen crap. Peppermint. The real deal mint. And peppermint and chocolate together? That’s what I’m talking about.
But my dad. He takes the mint chocolate love to a whole new level. The dude is obsessed with it. So what’s an amazing, thoughtful, caring kid to do? Feed his father’s addiction, of course.
And guys. These Red Velvet Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are legit. Super moist. Full of peppermint chocolate flavor. And that color… it just screams Christmas cheer.
I know, this is my second crinkle cookie recipe in the same week. Remember those Chocolate Orange Truffle Crinkle Cookies? But what am I supposed to do? These things are so darn festive and fun to make. Can you blame me? Are there any more questions I can fit into this paragraph?
And you know what… this isn’t even my last crinkle cookie recipe for this year! Ha! I’ve got one more coming at ya in a few days. Boom. That’s right. I’m on the crinkle cookie train and there’s no stopping it.
The rolling around in powdered sugar before baking (i.e. the crinkle effect) is completely optional. It does make the cookies look extra pretty, but I will be straight up with you… Asheley requests her cookies crinkle free.
You see, she gets a little over enthusiastic with the speed in which she devours cookies. And have you ever tried to quickly inhale a cookie with powdered sugar? Yea, let’s just say it’s pretty funny to watch.
