These Peppermint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are so yummy! The chocolate cookie is perfectly soft and chewy, and the Hershey’s Candy Cane Kiss adds the right about of peppermint flavor to compliment the chocolate.
I loveeee the combination of peppermint and chocolate. I have a few more recipes with this famous flavor combo up my sleeve! This is the first recipe I wanted to share because it is the easiest of them all. All it requires is a little patience—the dough needs to chill several hours before baking—otherwise they’re absolutely foolproof.
If you bake these for a holiday party, just make sure to double the recipe because they’re sure to be gone in a flash!
