Recipe Notes
- If you can't find Peppermint Baking Chips, you can substitute crushed candy canes or crushed peppermint candies. However, I prefer the baking chips because they're chips creamy like chocolate morsels.
- Crushed peppermint candies may become sticky or chewy when baked, which could affect the overall texture of the cookie. When exposed to heat in the oven, the candies can melt and then solidify again, resulting in a sticky or chewy texture.
- Additionally, the strong mint flavor from the peppermint candies can overpower other flavors in the cookie, potentially diminishing the balance of flavors.

Storage Instructions
Room Temperature: Store your completely cooled Christmas Cookies with Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Freezer: You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze the dough balls in a single layer on a baking sheet for about 30-60 minutes. Once hardened, store in a zip top freezer bag or freezer safe container.
Freeze already baked cookies by allowing them to fully cool before adding to a freezer safe container with pieces of wax paper or parchment paper in between the layers of cookies. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Bake the dough balls from frozen by adding a couple of minutes to the baking time. Thaw the already baked cookies at room temperature on a plate or wire rack for 30-60 minutes.
Top Recipe Tip
- Make sure the butter is soft before creaming with the sugars so it incorporates well.
- Remember to chill the dough balls for about 30 minutes before baking.
