Peppermint Bark Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
My son’s new school was having a Christmas program and asked every family to bring 3 dozen cookies to share after the program. I needed something that would be fast and festive so I dug through my pantry and came up with the idea to add some peppermint bark to chocolate cookies. Only I was out of flour. URGH! So I grabbed a chocolate cake mix and it worked like a charm!
Cake Mix Cookies
I love making cookies from scratch, but sometimes a shortcut is needed and a welcome relief from the crazy holiday season. These cookies are delicious and so easy to make using a box of cake mix and a few other ingredients. They only need a few additional ingredients and once you know how to make cake mix cookies then the sky’s the limit in terms of flavor.
Easy Christmas Cookies
These Peppermint Bark Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are so easy and a crowd pleaser. In under an hour you’ll have a platter of cookies for any occasion from after school snacks, holiday parties, school potlucks or Hallmark Channel Christmas movie watching. These cookies can be made in advance and will still soft for several days in an airtight container.
