Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Sticks are a fun twist on the classic cookie, with a handful of winter peppermint thrown in! These easy treats are quick to make, perfect for dipping, and are sure to become a new holiday go-to.
If I could capture the essence of almost everything I love about Christmas in a cookie, it would be these.
Comforting brown sugar cookie dough that’s good enough to eat straight from the mixing bowl.
(MINI!) Chocolate Chips.
Allllll the peppermint.
If I could shove snow, sparkly lights, and fir trees in there too, I would.
I don’t see them tasting nearly as good, though.

Obviously, chocolate chip cookies are delish all year round, but I’ve realized that I don’t really bake them unless Christmas is near.
I’m not really sure why I associate home-baked cookies with the holidays, but I assume it’s because of Nana.
She baked cakes and pies and pastries and all kinds of treats during the year, but we were hard-pressed to find cookies in May.
But why??
There’s nothing in the world quite like eating a cookie warm from the oven.
It’s one of those feelings I rank right up there with foot massages, warm blankets, and puppy snuggles. So much comfort and happiness in such a small pleasure.
Taking part in The Sweetest Season Cookie Exchange makes me super happy. Knowing that I get to play with cookies weeks before I normally would (stupid brain), and then get to eat them after?
Pure. Bliss.
I’ve shared my fair share of chocolate chip cookie recipes over the years and will continue to do so. They are so incredibly versatile, and there is just so much you can do with them. Not to mention they are always undoubtedly delicious.
Cookies never fail to make people happy, and I love being the one to bring them that happiness.
It’s on that puppy/foot massage list, too.
Enjoy these Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Sticks this season!

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Sticks
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips divided
- ¾ cup peppermint crunch baking chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper, overlapping the edges, and grease it with butter or baking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Cream 2-3 minutes until fluffy and combined. Add egg, vanilla, and peppermint extract and mix well.
