One of my favorite events of the year is my annual Tatertots & Jello Cookie Exchange.
This year was the fourth year. I love meeting new people, seeing some of my favorite people and getting amazing cookies and recipes!!
This year I made Peppermint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies! They looked so festive!
Here’s the recipe:
Christmas Peppermint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 bag Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses unwrapped
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Instructions
-
*Combine oil, sugar and cocoa in a mixing bowl.
-
*Mix that mixture together, and add eggs one at a time while you mix.
-
*Add the peppermint extract after the eggs and continue stirring.
-
*In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder, then mix into the other bowl.
-
*As a final step, I mixed this thoroughly on low with my Kitchen-Aid mixer.
-
*Place the dough in he freezer or fridge until the dough is still pliable but not as sticky.
-
*Then, preheat the over to 350-degrees.
-
*While it's heating, take a tablespoon and scoop a small amount of the dough ball in the powdered sugar and then, as an extra touch, dab the ball in the crushed peppermints and place that side down on the greased cookie sheet.
-
*Place the dough balls a couple of inches away from their neighbors.
-
*Bake each tray for 10-12 minutes.
-
*Then take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes and then gently press an unwrapped candy cane Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
-
***If you press the kisses into the hot cookies too early they will melt.

****Enjoy

Some sellers are dropping prices on those items to sell out quickly.
It was a box office success and put the film as one
of the highest grossing animated films of Disney. They are iconic members of the Disney cast
and no collection is complete without them.

Oh how I would’ve loved to be there Jen! So much fun. Someday I’m gonna go to your cottage. It looks amazing! xoxo
Well, this just looks delightful and so much fun! I’ve always wanted to do a cookie swap party but I need a bigger place first! Happy Holidays!

Cookie exchanges are one of the best parts of the Christmas season. I love taste testing new recipes.
So sad I missed it this year. Would have loved to see the new updates on the cottage and of course all of you! xo
Thanks for hosting this again. I had so much fun! I am looking forward to next year.
Looks like a super fun event! Love this post. xoxo
What a fun party! I cannot wait to try these cookies. Happy holidays, ladies!
They look great but are you one of those people that “accidentally” leave out a key ingredient or is it I just can’t read? Where or where is the peppermint extract listed in ingredients?
I an guessing the peppermint comes from the crushed up candy canes?!
Then I don’t think the recipe would have you add the peppermint extract at step 3 and the crushed candy canes at step 8….
Yes, I had two versions of the recipe going and omitted it accidentally from the ingredients. So I fixed it a couple of hours ago! If you don’t like that much peppermint, by all means, leave it out or substitute vanilla extract.
THANK YOU! I have a recipe but I always figure its better to go with a PERSON’S recipe versus a cookbook…now I have a good recipe to follow – my niece will love you forever for this!
one of these years I’m going to fly straight from Hong KOng to come to this super fun event :o) Looks like you all had a blast! Emily
Check you out skinny girl!! You look great! I just went to a cookie exchange and brought Candy Cane Cocoa cookies. Basically a homemade peppermint oreo. 🙂
