These Peppermint Sugar Cookies are super easy to make, delicious, and you and your kids will love them. Save a few to put under your Christmas tree for Santa!
A couple of great things about the holiday season are sugar cookies and peppermint. Have you ever combined the two? It is pretty simple when you combine a box of Krusteaz Sugar Cookie mix plus a bag of Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips.
Simply follow Krusteaz’s directions for making the sugar cookies. You don’t even have to get your stand mixer dirty. A bowl, mixing spoon, and a little old-fashioned stirring will do the trick.
Add one bag of peppermint baking chips.
Now these are good as-is….
But doesn’t a little sugar on top make everything better?
Word of caution: the peppermint aroma is a little strong when you open the oven after baking these. (It’s great for the sinuses!)

Thank you for the recipe but could I ask you for the original recipe for sugar cookies please ,deeply appreciate it
Hi Mary,
I don’t have a recipe for the sugar cookie portion. I use a box/package of sugar cookie mix.
Cheers!

I love how easy and absolutely tasty these look! I love the extra sugar crystals on top
Come to mommy! These look awesome!
Yes please! I haven’t seen those in the stores yet (well, I haven’t exactly been looking for them either), and now I want some to bake with!
What a great way to take a boxed mix and make it your own. Boxed mixes really do make baking a lot easier, but I think it is always nice to find a way to add a little twist to the basic boxed cookies and cakes. You’ve done a great job of that with this recipe.
I love sugar cookies, and I think the addition of peppermint would make them even better!
These sound good, peppermint makes sugar cookies even better!
ooooh these look awesome!! I’ve not tried this combination before!
How simple yet looks delish!! They’d be a hit at my house!!
Oh mama, those looks good. I wish there were more mixes for the paleo diet.
I love peppermint! I bet these cookies are delicious and I bet the peppermint gives them a bit of crunch.
Oh I love peppermint. These sound so delicious!
Mmm, these sound so tummy!
Those look scrumptious and peppermint is irresistible to me. I’m looking forward to their party!
