Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies - Cookie Gift In A Jar
Last Updated on December 30, 2023 by Janell
Thanks to SC Johnson for sponsoring this conversation about Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. All opinions are my own.
I love Christmas..all the parties, food, and cookies! I love all the cookies that people give to me during the holidays but sometimes I have to throw them away. Not because I don't want to eat them, but it's because I have so many that I don't have time to enjoy all of them before they are too old to eat.
This year instead of bringing my friends and family a tray of cookies, I am going to give them the ingredients to make their own cookies. Once all the cookies are gone, they can easily whip up a delicious batch of holiday cookies!
These Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies scream Christmas! It's like drinking a delicious cup of hot chocolate in a cookies. Plus they look so festive!
You can use glass mason jars or another great option is of Ziploc® Brand Storage containers. The 4 cup size fits the ingredients perfectly for these cookies!
These are the dry ingredients you will add to the container and they will add butter, eggs, and peppermint extract. There is a printable tag below and you will also find the full printable instructions so you can make these at home too!

- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- Add to the top: ¼ cup candy cane, finely crushed (In a sandwich Ziploc® Brand bag)
