These delicious, fudge-y brownies are made with the popular candy-cane chocolate wafer cookie available at Trader Joe's during the holidays. Make these early in the day as they slice best when cooled completely.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8-1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups roughly chopped peppermint oreos (approx 18)
1 candy cane (optional)

You won't want to frost these brownies, since the marbled top is too pretty to cover up. Besides, the tasty cream cheese layer makes them taste as if they're already frosted. The crushed cookies add extra chocolate flavor and a fun crunch. -Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

PEPPERMINT BROWNIE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Peppermint Brownie Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, peppermint extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, dutch processed cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, large eggs, sugar, dark brown sugar, candy cane, water

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, plus 1 tablespoon
1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons dutch processed cocoa powder
1 tablespoon black cocoa powder
2 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
¼ cup candy cane, crushed
2 cups water, for melting chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180˚C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips, butter, and peppermint extract to a medium heatproof bowl and place over the simmering water. Melt, stirring often until smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and black cocoa powder. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer and whip on high speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Continue mixing while slowly adding the granulated and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and falls into ribbons, about 9 minutes.
  • Add the melted chocolate mixture to the whipped eggs and mix on low speed until just combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix again until smooth.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, immediately scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets and smooth the tops with your finger.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle the tops with crushed candy canes. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 4 minutes, until the tops are cracked and shiny. Remove from the oven and immediately smack the baking sheets against the countertop, then let the cookies cool completely on the pans.
  • Note: If black cocoa powder is not available in your grocery store, cookies can be made using 3 tablespoons of Dutch-process cocoa powder; simply swapping the black cocoa for the Dutch-process.
  • Enjoy!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

19.5 ounces brownie mix ( (I used Pillsbury Milk Chocolate Brownie mix))
1¼ cups flour
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 Tablespoons milk
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
4 cups powdered sugar
4 Tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 Tablespoons Whole Milk ((whole milk makes the creamiest frosting, but you can use any kind you have))
¾ cup crushed peppermint for topping ((we used Andes Peppermint Crunch baking bits))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Use a non-stick cookie sheet (or grease cookie sheet if needed) and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brownie mix, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add in eggs and milk and stir with a large spoon. Add in melted butter, vanilla, and peppermint extract; stir until well blended.
  • Spoon dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet (I did 12 cookies per sheet). Bake for 9-10 minutes (don't overbake them- you want them soft and chewy like a brownie!).
  • Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely before frosting (frosting recipe below). Once cool, frost each cookie and sprinkle with Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits (or crushed candy canes are yummy too!).
