It’s cookie season, and if you have been following the Holiday Cookie Series this year, you know I started back in October. Well, today, I have not one, but nine cookies to share.Yep, see all that goodness below? It’s a virtual cookie exchange headed up by Honestly Yum with some of my favorite bloggers.
To find out what each one is and to grab the recipe, just hover and click on the cookie. It will take you to the recipe.
Now, if you are regular reader, then you know every year I go crazy with peppermint, so don’t be surprised if you see a few more very soon.
For now, let’s cover the cookie you see here. It’s start’s with the an ultimate rich chocolate chewy base from here. From there I took it and gave it a few tweaks, like topping it with some marshmallow fluff and then finishing it with a glaze and some crushed peppermint candy. It’s rich, so you probably should have a glass of milk within arms reach or maybe you are a dunker, in which case—go for it. I’m dunker, but I like mine with coffee not milk.
Want to really double down? Yes? Then you should have these Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies with some homemade peppermint hot chocolate.

Welcome to my cozy corner where baking meets random thoughts and musings. I’m a self-taught baker sharing all things sweet (and some savory—okay, and cocktails) with a whisk in one hand and a camera in the other. 
I just can’t handle the sheer amount of YUM on one page!! Noms all round!!

These look absolutely delicious! Nothing says Merry Christmas better than chocolate and peppermint!
Those sound amazing! I, personally, do not mind a bit of peppermint overloading–it is an awesome flavor, after all, especially with CHOCOLATE. Would totally try this cookies, maybe with a glass of that peppermint hot chocolate too? 😀
So many cookies! YES! Jeez, I love Christmas time and these cookies!
Yum! I’m looking forward to more excellent peppermint recipes!
I love that these are not only amazing looking cookies, but have a pretty filling too!
Naomi!! These peppermint hot chocolate cookies are killing me! So good. And hooray for all the things peppermint. I’m with ya on throwing peppermint into as many things as possible during the holidays.
Peppermint and chocolate cookies are a must for Christmas! These are gorgeous!
cookie season is just the best – these cookies look so delicious!!
Loving all the peppermint Naomi! I’d eat these with my coffee too!
This virtual cookie swap has me seriously drooling. And I can’t get over this marshmallow filling. Amazing! Pinned!
Oh my word, these sound fantastic. I love the layer of marshmallow cream in the middle!
These would be prefect as is but you went ahead and added marshmallow and peppermint! Ahh so many amazing things about this cookie!
I wish chocolate peppermint season was year round! It’s much to short, crammed in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’d love to drink peppermint hot chocolate year round (and I usually do, as long as the mornings are cold enough!), especially if I could pair it with these cookies. Marshmallow filling?? I’d hoard every single one.
Pinned!
WOA – that marshmallow filling – that icing – so much deliciousness!
I love that it is cookie season and I’m seeing so many wonderful cookie recipes here! These are gorgeous! Love the peppermint!
These are some of the best holiday cookies I’ve seen! I love chocolate and peppermint, and the marshmallow addition takes these over the top!
