What do you think, do these cookies live up to the name? It seemed like such a good fit. Though when I first had the idea for today’s recipe, I was really just going for holiday colors. But one look at them, and all I saw was the Grinch and his hat. But their flavor is definitely nothing but nice with no naughty, just a bit of peppermint spice.
And the matcha, it’s subtle but there in just the right amount and lending that signature green color. These are soft, delicious and so fun to make. My little ones especially enjoyed sticking on the adorable striped kisses.
Are chocolate crinkle cookies a holiday tradition for you? Or do you have a special memory connected to this classic treat. They happen to be one of my mom’s favs and I have definitely eaten and baked my share of these chocolatey little delights over the years. They always seem to make it in one cookie gift basket or another, right? And what I love is that no two are ever truly alike. There’s always some little difference or unique-ness about everyone’s versions. My favorites are always those that are extra moist and chewy on the inside with that slight little crisp crackle on the outside.
And boy, do today’s cookies, my DOVE® Peppermint Bark Stuffed Chocolate Crinkle Cookies have that going on and more. And guess what, today just happens to be National Cookie Day, a perfect day to celebrate these yummies.
These are such a fun spin on crinkle cookies. The little peppermint chocolate tucked right in the center melts into ooey-gooey chocolate bliss, then when you bite into it, not only do you get that fudgy middle, but then you get these little pops of crunch from the peppermint bark. These just might put the rest of the chocolate crinkle cookies of the world to shame.
