These Fudgy Peppermint Brownie Cookies are the ultimate holiday treat. They're rich, chewy brownie cookies topped with a perfectly melty York Peppermint Patty.
Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
Stir brownie mix, vegetable oil, flour, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour prior to baking, otherwise cookie will spread flat.
After dough is chilled ,preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scoop 1 Tablespoon of mixture per cookie and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 6-7 minutes until cookies look mostly done on the edges, but slightly doughy in the middle.
Remove from oven and press 1 peppermint patty into each center gently. Place in oven for another 4-5 minutes until the patty looks like it's beginning to melt.
Remove from oven and swirl gently just on top with a toothpick.
Sprinkle with festive holiday sprinkles if desired. Let cool for at least 10 minutes or longer. Enjoy!
Notes
Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.Chill the Dough: This is essential for getting thick, fudgy cookies. Chill for at least 60 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Warm dough will spread too much and lose that brownie texture.Brownie Shortcut: If you prefer brownies, you can bake a boxed mix and place peppermint patties on top of the hot pan right after baking and spread.Storage: Cookies stay soft and chewy for 3–4 days in an airtight container.
