Cookie Butter Peppermint Chip Cookies
Cookie butter peppermint chip cookies, oh my! Sweet dreams are made of easy cookie recipes like this one! When cookie butter meets peppermint chips, you get a sweet holiday cookie.
Last week, I shared a slow cooker Italian meatball soup recipe with you. That was my normal monthly contribution to The Secret Recipe Club. Because of the holidays happening later this month, groups C and D of the SRC won’t be able to participate in their monthly group exchange, so we’ve decided to hold a Secret Recipe Club Cookie Carnival that everyone can participate in!
These cookie butter peppermint chip cookies are adapted from a recipe that is a sweet treat.
Just like the normal SRC events, we’ve been paired up with another blogger to create a cookie recipe of theirs. I was assigned to create a recipe from Baking and Creating with Avril. Â Avril’s Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies stole my heart from the moment I laid my eyes on them. I almost chose the Nutella Drop Cookies, but then I realized that I’ve already made a few Nutella dessert recipes on this site, so I thought I’d try something else.
Besides, with no Nutella in the house, but a jar of cookie butter on the pantry shelf, the fate wins. Oddly enough, I had no chocolate chips, so I added a festive touch to the cookies, using peppermint chips instead. Avril lives in New Hampshire and loves sharing recipes when she’s not busy as a care-giver. Do yourself a favor and visit her site sometime. There are lots of easy-to-make recipes over there!
There’s one thing I forgot to mention about these cookies. It’s sort of important, especially if you have kids in your house. These cookies are known for their attraction to bears. I didn’t realize how much Bears love cookie butter until I put the cookies on wire rack to cool. Before I could do anything about it, Buddy was stalking the kitchen…
Cookie butter peppermint chip cookies will likely become one of your favorite easy cookie recipes, so PIN THE RECIPE!

Hooray! I love that you picked this recipe from my blog! And I am delighted you added peppermint chips to the cookies! Simply brilliant! Happy, Happy Holidays to you and yours 🙂
Thanks, Avril! I saw lots of great recipes on your site, but a lot of them were SRC recipes and I wanted to make one that came from you, not someone else 😉
These were really delicious cookies!
I’ve never baked with cookie butter before, or nutella, but really intrigued by the idea of making cookies using cookie butter – inception style cookies!
I hope you have a chance to try cookie butter sometime, Amanda. It’s really got a unique (and delicious!) taste.
Strangely enough, I’ve never heard of cookie butter before. But I must say, your cookies look delightfully festive.
Cookie butter is becoming more popular, Trisha, so perhaps you’ll see it at your grocery store soon. It’s worth trying at least once (and likely, you’ll love it and want to use it many more times!)
Yum, love the addition of cookie butter! I also loved looking through your cookie recipes this month. Happy Holidays!
I have got to go buy some peppermint chips! Happy holidays!
Buddy is adorable! 😀 Those cookies are PERFECT for December, yumm!! (And I am deprived – I have never had cookie butter before – must remedy!)
Thanks, Rebekah… I love my Buddy 🙂
Girly, if you’ve never had cookie butter, you simply must indulge yourself in a jar of it at least once. It’s like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. SO sinful and delicious!
Love the peppermint chip addition! I wait all year-long to break out the peppermint everything. I have to admit that I have never tried or heard of that brand of cookie butter. I am a die-hard Biscoff (with occasional bottles of Speculoos in my pantry) fan.
I love those Andes peppermint chips!! They are my fave for making Christmas cookies!! These ones sound so yummy with the cookie butter!!
Oh these sound really good! Happy Holidays!
Oats and Cookie Butter – yes please!
These sound quite delicious! I haven’t thought of pairing peppermint with cookie butter before!
I hadn’t thought of it either, Nicole, but this is one of those easy cookie recipes that’s too delicious not to make again!
I absolutely love peppermint chips! But cookie butter too? Holy moly! YUM!!!
I hear ya, Erin! I clearly don’t bake with cookie butter enough. It’s sinfully delightful!
These are pretty and look delicious! Great pick! 🙂
Thanks, Debbi!
Hahaha…these cookies attract bears! What about dude food bloggers? …because I’m pretty sure I have a secret love affairs going on with these cookies right now.
Haha! Yep… the easy cookie recipes always seem to attract dudes. Brian was hovering over them, too. Stand in line, Dave… I’m baking more!
