Peppermint Crunch Cookies Recipe
(from: https://www.lifemadedelicious.ca/en/Recipes/P/Peppermint-Crunch-Cookies.aspx)
Ingredients:
1 pkg Pillsbury* Refrigerated Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) white vanilla baking chips or semisweet chocolate chips
8 round hard peppermint candies, crushed (about 1/4 cup/50 mL)
Instructions:
* Heat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well blended. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from baking sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 5 minutes.
* In small microwavable bowl, microwave vanilla chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once halfway through microwaving, until melted. Stir until smooth.
* Dip half of each cookie into melted chips mixture, allowing excess to drip off; place on waxed or parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon crushed candy. Let stand until set.
Do you give personal baking gifts to teachers, bus drivers, mail carriers and others during the holidays? This is something I have always wanted to do but honestly, I fear that my baking is not so much a gift to others. I think the idea is wonderful though and love receiving baking and treats from my friends who understand that I’m challenged in that area (Did you read that, friends? I’m open to deliveries!)
The recipe above, and other great homemade food gifts and Christmas food gifts can be found over at the Life Made Delicious site. Now that I look at it, this doesn’t look very difficult at all and even something that I might be able to master! No surprise though as the site is full of easy recipes!

MMM I make a peppermint cookie*shortbread) and they are wonderful. I love how easy this is!
sounds delicious! saving this recipe to make with my boys 🙂
These look delicious!
Those sound amazing!!! YUM!
I saw these in the store last week and was wondering if they were actually good or not. Judging by that picture they look delish
Another way to give baking – without baking yourself – is to give a “gift in a jar”, my grandkids are giving double chocolate cookie mix in a jar to their teachers this Christmas, they look attractive with the ingredients (including green and red Smarties) layered in a mason jar, and a nice bow attached with the recipe card.
Oh yummy, was wondering what kind of cookies to make with my boys during christmas, we will be making these for sure!!!!
Came across a similar idea. Well, ok, a bit different. Marshmallows dipped in chocolate and peppermint. Gifted and enjoyed with hot chocolate!
they sound and look really good, I’ll be trying these
It’s something about the holidays and peppermint flavor. I always seem to seek out peppermint treats this time of year.
Mmmm…those look yummy and easy to make!
