These Peppermint Sandwich Cookies are like a Homemade Oreo cookie with a peppermint cream filling. Chocolate-y, creamy, peppermint-y, and delicious!

I am a sucker for Oreo cookies. Pretty much every other store bought cookie I can pass on, but Oreos will get my every time. And I love all the different flavors. But a homemade one….that is something special and something everyone can agree on!

These are a dark chocolate cookie that a little soft and a little crunchy, and the homemade peppermint filling is the perfect pairing. If you like chocolate and peppermint don’t miss my Homemade Peppermint Patties or my Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake for a decadent treat!

These sandwich cookies are seriously easy to make, because the food processor does all the work! Traditionally when you make cookies you use a mixer, but this makes almost a shortbread like cookie, so you are cutting the butter into the sugar and flour instead of creaming it like other cookies..

Recipe Tips

  • Let the dough chill. It calls for 60 minutes, but that is a minimum for it to set up enough that you can slice disks. You can let it set up overnight if you want to make them ahead and do them in stages.
  • The cookies will spread just a little when you bake them, so make sure your disks are pretty much the size you want your cookies to me.
  • Not a fan of peppermint? Use any extract you like to flavor the filling.
  • Make sure the cookies are completely cooled before you add the filling. If the cookies are warm, they will likely bread when you press down on the filling, and the filling will melt and make a mess.
