Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Hey Karen, we wouldn't recommend swapping the all-purpose flour for oat or almond flour. The gluten in the all-purpose flour helps give the texture and structure of the cookies that oat and almond flour may not offer as they're gluten-free. Perhaps you could try using an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (like Bob's Red Mill) for a gluten-free version though 😊

To halve the recipe, you can adjust the serving size on our website or app, and it’ll scale the ingredients for you. Baking is a bit of a science, so scaling can sometimes change the texture as a heads-up!

Hi Nadia, you can use peppermint syrup instead of extract if you'd like! Just keep in mind that the syrup isn’t as concentrated, so you may need to use a bit more to get the right flavour. Since syrup is sweetened, you might also want to reduce the granulated sugar slightly to keep things balanced. Enjoy! 😊

Thanks for the reply! I’ve tried with peppermint syrup, but I couldn’t taste the flavour even I added more than the recipe. Hence, I purchased peppermint flavoring and it turned out good! ❤️

One more question, do I need to refrigerate this like the Best Choco Chips Cookie recipe? Because on the first try I didn’t refrigerate them and they turned out quite good. This time I refrigerated them, but my cookies were very very soft, break easily, and too wide. 😂

Hey Nadia, thanks for the update! Refrigerating the dough isn’t necessary for this recipe, as it’s designed to be baked right after mixing. Refrigeration will impact the texture and spread of the cookies by firming the fats, which likely caused the wider, softer cookies. Next time, you could skip the refrigeration step for these peppermint cookies, and they should turn out just as good as the first time! 😊

Yum, those sound amazing with the sea salt twist, Reid! Love your creative touch. Thanks so much for the baking tips too. Every oven is a bit different, and we're sure this will help others 🙌

Hey Ada, indeed if your dough is too sticky and loose to roll into a ball, you can add a bit more flour to bulk up the consistency. We'd recommend adding it gradually until the dough is manageable but avoid adding too much to keep the cookies from being too dry 😊

Hey Matilde! Thank you for your patience when trying to print. Just below the directions and storage information, you should see a green "print" button. It's also on the left-hand side of the screen as a green printer icon. When you click this it'll take you to a print page where we can uncheck the image from printing on the left side of the screen and adjust the printing font size if desired. I hope this helps for now, and if there's anything else we can help with do let us know! You can also contact us at [email protected] 😊

I love your recipes and this app is amazing, but I am also having trouble finding the printer icon. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you 😊

Hey Dianne, having the webpage fully expanded on your computer or laptop screen with ad-blocker disabled might help. If you're still not able to see either print button, please reach out to us via email at [email protected]. We'll gladly provide you with a screen recording to show you where the button are and a PDF copy of the recipe 💌

Hehe a common accident, Charlotte! So glad the cookies were enjoyed :)

Hi Charlotte, we appreciate the glowing review so much! We've totally used baking powder instead of baking soda before too, but so glad it was still enjoyed 😃

Hey Ginni! Awe thanks for the kind words. It means so much 😊 If there isn't any access to vegan butter or margarine, solid refined coconut oil that doesn't impart the coconut flavour would likely work better than liquid vegetable oil. If opting to experiment with liquid vegetable oil, we'd recommend trying with slightly less than a 1/2 cup and aiming to use neutral vegetable oil if possible. We hope this helps for now!

So glad it was enjoyed, Tabassoom, and wishing you the happiest of new years 🎉

So glad they're being enjoyed, Courtney!

An update, 2 years later! I’ve made these every year for Christmas and they’re always a hit!! Thank you PUL ❤️

Thank you, Sukriti! Wishing you and your family the happiest of holidays 💚
