Peppermint Patty Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate cookies stuffed with peppermint patties.  These Peppermint Patty Stuffed Chocolate Cookies are a perfect treat for any time of year!

Are you a fan of peppermint patties?  I absolutely love the combination of mint and chocolate.  It’s right up there with peanut butter and chocolate for me, I really can’t get enough of the two.  If it were perfectly acceptable, I could probably live off of them.

Well, I could probably live off of anything that involves chocolate.  Because.. um.. chocolate.

Ever since I made these Nutella Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies (tell me you’ve tried them?!), I’ve been dreaming of new things to stuff inside my favorite chocolate cookie recipe.  So naturally, this time I’m stuffing them with peppermint patties.

Plus, Christmas is just around the corner and these would make a perfect addition to your cookie tray.

The chocolate cookie dough only takes a few minutes to whip up.  Once you’re done making it, you want to chill the dough.  I know I say this all the time, but chilling the dough is important especially in this recipe.  The dough will be quite sticky, chilling it will make it MUCH easier to work with when you’re stuffing the peppermint patties into it.  Trust me.

I also bought a bag of miniature peppermint patties to make these, they’re a little bit smaller than the snack size version and work perfectly in these cookies.  I suggest using the smaller peppermint patties if you can find them.

Enjoy!
