Do you have a favorite cookie? One that you absolutely love and could probably eat the entire batch if you’re left alone with them? Besides loving the classic chocolate chip cookie, I’ve always loved no-bake cookies.

These Easy No-Bake Peppermint Dipped Cookies are incredibly simple to make and delicious. Most of us during the holiday are strapped for time. That’s all the more reason to give them a spin this season. I will not lie if you can melt chocolate.

You are already at an expert level when it comes to this recipe. Seriously, this is as hard as it gets. One thing that I love about these cookies is how easy they are to make. You can prepare a batch of these in about 15-20 minutes, then all you have to do is wait for them to cool. 

Ingredients To Make These Peppermint Cookies

• Keebler Grasshopper Cookies
• Candy Canes or Peppermints (1 box of 12 candy canes)
• White Candy Melts

How to make your cookies

STEP ONE: Place your peppermints or candy canes (you will need about 12 candy canes for a whole package of cookies) in a large plastic storage bag. Roll them with a rolling pin until they’re crushed. Or handing the kids a few fun kitchen gadgets to crush them. Once pulverized, place them in a bowl for later.

STEP TWO: In a medium-sized bowl, melt the candy melts in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stir well after each cook session, until smooth.

STEP THREE: Once the candy melts are smooth, dip the grasshopper cookies about halfway into the melts. Be fast, so the chocolate from the cookies doesn’t mix into the white candy melts.

STEP FOUR: Immediately dip them into the bowl of crushed peppermint, covering the candy melts, and set them on wax paper.

STEP FIVE: Then allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving. This will allow them enough time for the melted chocolate to harden. Don’t they look beautiful?

Almost as if you slaved over a hot stove all day. SHHHH, I won’t say a word. Your secret is safe with me.

How to store your cookies

These peppermint and chocolate-coated cookies will stay freshly in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. You can also freeze for up to 3 months.
