The holiday season just calls for peppermint, doesn’t it? Of
course, the holiday season also calls for chocolate, but then pretty much every
season calls for chocolate. At any rate, if you love the combination of
peppermint and chocolate as much as I do, you are going to love these Quick and
Easy Peppermint Crunch Cookies. Baking cookies, as much as I would like to
do it, is really rather tedious and time-consuming. This is an easy way to get
fabulous results with a minimal amount of work. Try these at home, slip them
onto your cookie tray, and wait for the compliments.
Quick & Easy Peppermint Crunch Cookies
1 9-oz. pkg. Famous Chocolate Wafers
1 11-12 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips
2 - 4 drops oil of peppermint, more or less, to taste
Crushed peppermint candies, if desired
In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips, at 30-second intervals, until smooth and creamy. Stir in oil of peppermint. Dip chocolate wafers into white chocolate and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle immediately with crushed peppermint candies, if desired. Allow to harden at room temperature, or slide them into the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

I cannot find the cookies anywhere in Dallas which I find hard to believe. I remember the icebox cookie cake iced with whipped cream and it was delicious. Where did you buy the cookies?
ReplyDeleteI cannot find the cookies anywhere in Dallas which I find really strange. Where did you buy the ones you used? Were they Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers?
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle,
ReplyDeleteYes, they are Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. I found mine at the local grocery store, but they also have them at Walmart as well as Walmart.com and Amazon.com. Hope this helps!
