Chewy chocolate cookies with a creamy cool mint center.  These Chocolate Peppermint Pattie Cookies need to be added to your Christmas cookie bake list! 

I had these cookies for the first time last year.  My neighbor, one of the sweetest ladies in the world, brought us over a plate of beautiful homemade Christmas cookies.  Every cookie was delicious – but there was one cookie that we all wanted and didn’t want to share.  They were chocolate cookies with a peppermint filling.

After eating a few of them, it was decided that the centers had to be (or could be) peppermint patties.  It was also decided that I was nominated to bake these cookies in the near future….

Crazy how I forgot about these cookies for almost a year.

After doing a recent shakedown of my pantry, I found a bag of peppermint patties.  I had bought them months ago to make these cookies and totally forgot about them.  Perfect timing!

I’ll admit, I almost didn’t share this recipe.  These cookies are delicious but they’re a bit fussy to make.  Not hard, just fussy and a little messy.  I can handle messy, but fussy annoys me.  I only have so much patience to go around.

What’s the fussiness about?  You’re basically forming the soft, mushy and sticky cookie dough around the peppermint pattie.  Sounds easy enough, right?  It probably is.  Just pay attention to making sure that the patty is completely covered in cookie dough.  I wasn’t so attentive and had a few oozy messes.

The cookies sat around for a day.  My annoyance wore off.  I ate a few and I realized I had to share these cookies.  They’re simply too delicious to be left unshared.

I hope you enjoy these Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cookies.  Go ahead and decorate them if you’d like!  I sprinkled a pinch of crushed candy cane on the tops but they’re just as brilliant without any toppings!  Happy Baking!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • 2/3 cup butter softened

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

  • Scoop out tablespoon of cookie dough. Roll dough into a ball. Flatten slightly and press peppermint patty into dough. Mold dough around patty so that it is completely covered. It's important that the patty is completely covered - it will melt and ooze out if it's not.

    Cool recipe! I used to love peppermint patties back in the day. This is a creative idea to put them into cookies. Lately, I’ve been buying all things peppermint; ice cream, jelly candies, bark, you name it. Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors.
