Peppermint Christmas Cookies

Hooray for the Holidays! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! We spent the whole day Sunday as a family putting up our Christmas tree and decking the whole house with holiday decor. It was so much fun! The boys are so into it this year and Brandon and I are so enjoying soaking in the season with them. It’s going to be extra special this year!

As we were decorating, I decided to bake up a batch of festive cookies for us to enjoy by the tree after we put the star on it. We were all so excited about the decorations so why not celebrate with cookies?!

Peppermint White Chocolate Pudding Cookies

Pudding cookies are always a favorite, so I decided to use a white chocolate pudding mix with white chocolate chips and plenty of peppermint to perk them up. They turned out AMAZING! The white chocolate and peppermint combo is perfection!

They’re so quick and easy to bake that you’ll want to have these ingredients on hand for when you get those cookie cravings or when you need some last-minute treats for a party or house guests.

What Do I Need to Make Peppermint White Chocolate Pudding Cookies?

  • Unsalted butter, softened
  • Light brown sugar
  • Granulated sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla extract

  • Instant white chocolate pudding mix
  • Baking soda

How to Make Peppermint White Chocolate Pudding Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, dry pudding mix, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients, 1 cup at a time, to the wet ingredients in the mixer until just combined.
  • Stir in white chocolate chips and 1 cup peppermint crunch. Shape dough into heaping tablespoon-sized rounds and place a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Press additional peppermint crunch into the top of each cookie, if desired. Flatten each cookie very slightly with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake for about 11-13 minutes or until the cookies start to turn a very light brown around the edges, rotating the cookie sheets after 7 minutes of baking.
  • Let cool completely on cookie sheets. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

    1. There is way too much butter to flour ratio. The cookies came out in greasy puddles, had to throw entire batch out.






      1. Hi, Alice! Oh, my. That has never been my experience with this recipe. Are you sure you followed the directions? It sounds like you may have left out the dry pudding mix which is important to their texture. Additionally, your pan may have been too warm and that caused some spreading.
