Ingredients
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup hot cocoa mix
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup powdered sugar for rolling cookies
- 36 Peppermint Patties snowflake or regular
Instructions
- Combine the cocoa powder, hot cocoa mix, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil in a bowl.
- Once combined beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all ingredients are moistened. The dough will be very sticky.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the cookies into 1-inch balls or use a #40 cookie scoop and roll in the powdered sugar.
- Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets and bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and immediately place a peppermint patty into the center of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before transferring them to a storage container or serving.
Notes
TIP: Place the cookie dough back into the refrigerator between baking.
Approximately 15 snowflake peppermint patties come in a bag. You will need more than 1 bag to top these crinkle cookies. Regular peppermint patties are easier to find and the taste will be the same.
