No Bake Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Short on time? Need something easy to bake? These No Bake Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are so delicious your guests will think you spent hours making them!

My husband and I enjoy inviting our friends over for dinner parties. Last year when we hosted a Christmas dinner party, I quickly whipped up these No Bake Chocolate Peppermint Cookies as part of my dessert table. They were a huge hit! My guests not only enjoyed them, but they asked me for the recipe!

My friends know I enjoy making intricate desserts, but sometimes the most simple desserts are often the ones that make the biggest impression. These cookies are not only super easy to make but are also a great and festive addition to your Christmas cookie tray!

In addition, my kids are always wanting to help out with the Christmas cookie baking. These cookies are a great family activity that will keep your kids busy and engaged no matter what age they are. So grab your ingredients and let’s get started…
