Get your peppermint fix with these recipes! Easiest 3 Ingredient Peppermint Bark, Peppermint Cookies, and Double Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies. Peppermint just might be my favorite holiday flavor. I would eat pumpkin, gingerbread, caramel, cranberry…. pretty much any time of the year. But Christmas time is really the only time I crave peppermint. When December rolls around, I have to get my hands on some peppermint goodies. These cookies are so easy to make. The dough requires just 5 ingredients! The key to getting that really buttery, soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture is the corn starch. So yes, there really is a half of a cup in the dough – trust me on this. The frosting – ohmagosh the frosting – is a cream cheese peppermint frosting you will luuuuuv. It’s rich and creamy and mmmmmmmmm good. Slather a whole bunch of that stuff right on top of your cookies, don’t be shy. And you can throw in a couple drops of red food coloring for a bright, festive pink frosting. Crush yourself some candy canes and sprinkle those on top while you’re at it. Aren’t they PURRRDY!? If you can stand to share any of them they look gorgeous on a big white platter at a holiday party… just sayin!
