Try these other Christmas recipes when you’re done enjoying these cookie bars! Gingerbread Cake, Thumbprint Cookies, and Easiest 3 Ingredient Peppermint Bark. It’s official guys, we are knee-deep into the holiday season. I just found out that people put their Christmas trees up the day after Halloween. Say whaaa? That’s crazy. Unless you’re one of those people….. actually it’s still crazy. We put ours up on Thanksgiving Day this year and I still felt like we were bordering on being a bit premature. My first post-Thanksgiving recipe is very Christmas-y I feel like. Peppermint, that’s definitely a holiday flavor, right? I actually made these peppermint sugar cookie bars on Thanksgiving morning. right before decorating the tree. I’ve decided that simultaneously tree-trimming, candy cane-crushing, and singing your lungs out (not always on key I might add) just might be the single most enjoyable thing on earth. If you haven’t tried it, please cease all current activity and join me in soaking up this holiday bliss – tree-trimming/peppermint sugar cookie-frosting/feliz navidad off-key-singing style. These bars got the official stamp of approval from my mom so I know they’ve gotta be really, really good. She usually has some helpful, positive constructive criticism but these bars left her critique-less. She said they were moist, soft, thick and chewy, and loaded with just enough fluffy peppermint frosting. Actually, she said she wouldn’t mind a whole bowl of just the frosting!
What people are saying about these Peppermint Crunch Sugar Cookie Bars
“I literally just made these! SO DELICIOUS! I used about 2 and half teaspoons of peppermint for the icing though. Came out SUPER minty and tasted exactly like candy canes! DELISH! Love these so much, may just have to make them year round! XD” – Lee “Awesome recipe! I made these for a holiday gathering and they were a huge hit! I didn’t have the right size pan so used a 9×9 instead, so they were a bit thicker, but still tasted fantastic! And the frosting was to die for! Definitely going to be a go to holiday baking recipe from now on.” – Stephanie
