If you love peppermint bark during the holidays, you’re going to be hooked on these Christmas Peppermint Bark Cookies. They start with a rich, fudgy chocolate cookie base, then get topped with melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes for that classic peppermint bark flavor in cookie form.

These cookies are a must for any holiday cookie tray or Christmas party. They’re festive, full of chocolate-mint flavor, and surprisingly easy to make. Plus, you can bake the cookies ahead of time and just top them with chocolate and candy canes when you’re ready to serve.

Helpfup Tips

Use quality chocolate. Since the cookie base is rich and chocolatey, a good cocoa powder and real white chocolate make a big difference.
Crush the candy canes small. You’ll want some tiny bits for sprinkling, so the cookies are easier to bite into without big sharp chunks.
Cool completely before topping. Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before adding the melted chocolate layer so it sets up smoothly.
