Chocolate and Peppermint is my all time favorite flavor combination so it’s no surprise that these cookies are a holiday staple in our house. These Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are super easy and quick to make with just 5 ingredients!

Peppermint Double Chocolate Cookies

Last Christmas I discovered these delicious little peppermint bits at my grocery store. They are super tasty and were perfect for my Peppermint S’Mores Brownies. This year I knew I wanted to use them again so I decided to add them into my favorite chocolate cake mix cookies.

Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Cake Mix cookies are the easiest kind of cookies to make, they are soft and chewy and only require a few ingredients – a box cake mix, 2 eggs and a stick of butter. That’s it! Of course the chocolate chips and peppermint bits make a world of difference, but even without those additions these cookies taste seriously amazing.

    It would have been very helpful to include in your recipe that you don’t advise using regular peppermint candies.

    Have you tried using peppermint extract? I want to boost the minty-ness but I know it’s risky since it’s such a strong flavor.

      The chips are pretty minty on their own but the flavor is still fairly understated. I wouldn’t add too much.

    Can I use crush candy canes instead?

      You can, but they tend to melt funny as the cookies bake. You could try pressing them into the cookies immediately after taking them out of the oven. The baking chips are best because they are actually made for baking.

    Are the peppermint bits, like a chocolate chip? I saw Andes brand peppermint bits. Is that what you use?

      Sort of. They can be found in the baking aisle, or at specialty retailers. I’ve seen them at World Market. They are Andes brand, yes.

    Hi! This recipe is wonderful, but I wanted to know how many ounces the cake mix was. I have a gluten allergy so I wanted to make sure I had the proper amount of cake mix before I make these

      November 16, 2016 at 4:33 pm

      It’s typically a 15 ounce box.

    Are these cookies also nut free?

      I can’t speak for the cake mix that you use, but there are no other nuts.
