Chocolate Brownie Cookies – chewy cookies with rich chocolate and peppermint flavor, drizzled with white chocolate and topped with holiday sprinkles and crushed candy canes.
Happy Saturday everyone! Are you having a nice weekend? It is in the 40s here and it feels warm.
I’ve been baking a lot lately. But this is not a secret to anyone!
Christmas is just 20 days away and I’m very excited testing and sharing holiday cookie recipes. Did you know it was #NationalCookieDay yesterday? To me the month of December feels like a cookie month.
No Christmas party will be complete without chocolate cookies! These brownie cookies are so easy to make with just a few staple ingredients. The combination of chocolate and peppermint is always a winner, especially around the holidays! Not to mention these are my husband’s favorite cookies. The best of both worlds – brownies and cookies.
I adapted the recipe from Food and Wine.
In this recipe I used Nestle® Tollhouse Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, Milk Chocolate Morsels and White Chocolate Morsels. The recipe calls for a lot of chocolate so I recommend that you use good quality chocolate morsels like Nestle Tollhouse.
Since there is a lot of chocolate in these, you might want to get Nestle Toll House’s coupon here.
Feel free to follow them on Pinterest and Facebook for more holiday baking tips and ideas.
I’m in love with the great flavor and fudgy texture!
I’m so excited and just can’t wait for the holidays! Great food, cookies, laughs and time spent with precious people!

Followed the recipe exactly but it’s insanely liquidy. Very unfortunate
You need to chill the mixture. Sorry for your experience, but I wouldn’t share it if it did not work.
Are you sure it’s only 1/2 cup flour? I followed recipe exactly twice and they melted like butter in the oven.
Yes, you do need to chill the dough.
