Ingredients

For the Peppermint Bark

  • 16 ounce 60% Chocolate chips
  • 8 Candy Canes crushed into different sizes
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Large marshmallows for assembly

For the Sugar Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (DO NOT MELT)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 2½ cups all purpose flour (measured by scooping the flour and leveling with knife)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

For the Peppermint Bark

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using a double boiler melt the chocolate until it is a smooth consistency. Add in the peppermint extract and stir. Fold in ½ of the crushed candy canes. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet into a thin layer. Sprinkle the rest of the crushed candy canes on top. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until cooled and solid. Break into smaller pieces.

For the Sugar Cookies

  • Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer for 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
  • Chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and roll it into a ball. Place 9 of the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll with coarse sugar.
  • For cookies that are soft in the middle (that’s how I like them) bake for 10-12 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. If you want them crisp, bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before transferring them off the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack.
  • Form into Peppermint Bark S’mookies - BASICALLY S’MORES BUT WITH BARK + SUGAR COOKIES

Notes

Feel free to make up your own new desserts with different flavors of cookies and bark.
