Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 24 tablespoons raw dark chocolate chip cookie dough, rolled into balls
  • 1/2 to 1 cup vanilla frosting, approximately
  • 1 to 3 teaspoon peppermint flavoring (or any flavor you prefer), to taste
  • 2 to 3 drops green food coloring, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candy (broken candy canes), to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Grease a 24 slot mini muffin tin and preheat oven to whatever temperature the cookie recipe you are using suggests, in my case this was 325 F.

  • Step 2: Place a small roll of cookie dough into each muffin tin well and press gently with your fingers to form a cup; bake according to the instructions for your cookie dough, which for me was about 12 minutes.

  • Step 3: Let cookie cups cool in the pans briefly, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

  • Step 4: Mix peppermint and food coloring into your vanilla frosting to create a light mint green color and minty taste, adding as much or as little as you prefer.

  • Step 5: Using a piping bag (or a filled zip-top baggie with one end snipped off), fill each cooled cookie with a swirl of frosting.

  • Step 6: Sprinkle each with some crushed peppermint candies to taste.
