I’m still on a peppermint kick today with these. Oh my goodness, these Peppermint Cream Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches are a chocolate and peppermint lover’s idea of a heavenly cookie. Well, at least mine.
A soft, cake-y chocolate cookie filled full with fluffy, peppermint-y cream is a great addition to holiday cookie baking.
If you wanted, you could even roll the sides of these chocolate cookie sandwiches in crushed candy canes.
You understand why I do not based on my reasoning I explained with my peppermint chocolate chip cookies yesterday. Right? But, if it doesn’t irk you, then I think it makes them really pretty and definitely very special.
These chocolate cookie sandwiches are a great cross between a whoopie pie and a cookie, making them perfect in my opinion. Not too cake-y and not to cookie-y, but juuuuuussst right.
Here’s my Peppermint Cream Chocolate Sandwich Cookies recipe. Make them to share with those you love. They’ll thank you.
