Brightly lit houses and a chill in the air make me crave peppermint–and these chocolatey, peppermint cookies are the perfect holiday treat!
Ingredients
- 1 package of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Milkmakers IT’S A MIX!
- 4 Tbsp. of water
- 1/4 Cup of cocoa powder
- 5 candy canes, crushed

Directions
- Follow the directions on the back of the Milkmakers IT’S A MIX bag:
- Double the water on package instructions (4 Tbsp. total)
- Add cocoa powder to butter & egg mixture before adding dry mix; mix until incorporated.
- Crush the candy canes in a food processor, (or if you’re feeling adventurous place candy canes in a plastic bag and crush the pieces with a rolling pin.)
