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 Sugar Cookie mix plus a bag of Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips.

Let’s look at how to make this simple cookie recipe.

🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 box or pouch of sugar cookie mix + ingredients as directed
  • 1 bag Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips
  • Coarse sugar optional
Stick of butter, Andes Peppermint Curnch, egg, sugar, and Sugar Cookie mix.

🔪 Instructions

Simply follow the package directions for making the sugar cookies. You don’t even have to get your stand mixer dirty. A medium-sized bowl, mixing spoon, and a little old-fashioned stirring will do the trick.

      Hi Mary,

      I don’t have a recipe for the sugar cookie portion. I use a box/package of sugar cookie mix.

      Cheers!

    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.
