Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies are chewy chocolate cookies topped with a peppermint candy Hershey's Kiss.
Who's ready for CHRISTMAS?! Is your holiday baking done, or do you have room for one more awesome cookie recipe?! So far this season I've made my favorite Mint Brownies, Graham Cracker Toffee Bars, Peppermint Brownie Trifle, Christmas Cornflake Wreaths and Homemade Caramels.
Oh, and I can't forget Homemade Eggnog, because we've had two batches of that too.
Some of my favorite holiday cookies include these Soft and Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies!
And, yes, these Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies are also at the TOP of my list! They are amazing hot from the oven, but they freeze amazingly well also! You could make the dough and freeze it, of just freeze the cookies after they're baked and cool.
This is my version of the perfect chocolate cookie–a little bit crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside. Then add a little peppermint kiss for the perfect festive touch.

These are so good and easy to make. I made them without the kisses, and I ran out of butter so I used margarine instead. I was having a chocolate craving and this worked. I’m saving this recipe to make cookies during the holidays! Thank you.
We’ve called these “Tuxedo Cookies”. Great flavor combination, and fun to make with young ones.
Lauren, I love the look of these! And chocolate and mint are a classic combination for a reason!
