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.

Description

Chocolate and peppermint happily share top billing in these festive cookies. Quick and easy recipe that’s almost too cute to eat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar  
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon liquid red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and Kosher salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. Beat the butter, dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined. Scrape down sides and beat in egg and vanilla extract. On low, add in red food coloring and peppermint extract, scraping down sides as necessary. Slowly add in dry ingredients on low speed and mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir until combined.
  3. Place plastic wrap directly onto dough to tightly cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to a few days.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F. Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop cookie dough and roll into small balls. Coat very generously in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheets and bake approximately 8-9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking tray for a few minutes to set. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
