I am sure I have told you this before, but I love mint and chocolate together, especially during this time of year. So when you have a chocolatey, fudgy cookie that includes York Peppermint Patties, I am in love. In my adult life, Peppermint Patties have become a guilty pleasure of mine.
I saw these cookies awhile ago on Pinterest, and knew they would make a great holiday cookie. And boy was I right! They are rich and full of chocolate. But the peppermint swirled throughout leaves such a cooling and light finish to them. I haven’t brought cookies to school in awhile, so I decided to change that. I brought them right before their lunch break, so I was still there when they were being eaten. Let’s just say they went over well. I made them wait a whole 6 days for the recipe, so hopefully they still love me 🙂
I know there are lots of people out there who aren’t big bakers, so I am going to let you in on a little secret. The trick to a great cookie….under bake it. Seriously. Not crazy amounts, just a minute or two. They stay soft and chewy for much longer. Plus if you want to microwave it for a few seconds for the fresh out of the oven taste, they are still gooey! And in my opinion, nothing beats a gooey cookie.
Peppermint Patty Fudge Cookies

Peppermint Patty Fudge Cookies redefine cookie perfection. These fudgy delights stay soft and gooey, making every bite a luscious, minty indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 14 mini Peppermint Patties, chopped
Instructions
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate. If using a microwave heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat at 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter for about 1 minute, until smooth. Add sugar and brown sugar. Beat until well combined, it will be a very sandy texture.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the melted chocolate. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture, mix until it is just combined.
- Using a spatula fold in the chocolate chips and the Peppermint Patties. Put the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Scoop small balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are set. The center will appear soft.
- Remove from the oven, and let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes (they will continue to cook a little). Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
