Instructions

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookie Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, milk, vanilla and peppermint extract using mixer.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Slowly add the flour 1/4 a cup at time.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Prepare baking sheets with cooking spray or parchment paper.
  • Make small cookie dough balls, approximately 1 inch.
  • Place the cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

Chocolate Peppermint Frosting Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on low.

  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the milk, extracts and powdered sugar.
  • Stir well.

Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Cookie Cups Assembly Instructions

  • Break your mini candy canes into smaller pieces and squeeze then into the side of the marshmallow. If you are having a hard time getting it to stay, push it in further or use vanilla/white frosting to get it to stay. We were able to just push it in further.
  • Once the frosting is cool, put it into a ziploc bag and push it to a corner, then clip the tip of the corner. This will make it easier to use the frosting.
  • Once the cookies are cooled, pipe a small amount of frosting onto each cookie.
  • Place a marshmallow on top of the frosting.
  • Pipe a small amount of frosting onto the top of the marshmallow.
  • Add sprinkles to the top of the frosting on the marshmallow.
  • Serve your Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Cups with a cold glass of Florida Milk...and be sure to save some for Santa!
