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 Sugar Cookie mix plus a bag of Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips.
Simply follow the package 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!)

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.
