Another delicious recipe from BAKED SUNDAY MORNINGS! These cookies are not just for the holidays anymore. A nice, light minty chocolate cookie filled with peppermint white chocolate. I ran out of clear rolling sugar so I improvised with some colored sugar, non pareils and chocolate jimmies (that’s what we call chocolate sprinkles in New England!) These are easy and fun to make. Since the recipe calls for you to press your ‘thumbprint’ twice; once halfway through the baking!!!….I decided to use the rounded edge of the handle of one of my whisks. And I really think you could adapt both the cookie and the filling to accommodate any occasion. Leave out the minty flavor and use coffee or raspberry or rum; add the same flavors to the filling or use dark chocolate ganache or caramel! The variations for flavors and decorations are endless! On a scale of 1-5, I am giving this 4 whisks!
Original recipe may be found in Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito.
Or now available at BAKED SUNDAY MORNINGS
NOTE: The original recipe says it will make 40 cookies. It called for TBSP sized balls. I used a TBSP to scoop the amount of dough I needed and then rolled it into a ball. My batch only made 30 cookies. Also, the original recipe called for half of the ingredients I used for the filling. And even though it claimed to make more cookies….the original filling wasn’t enough to fill my 30 cookies. So I doubled it in this recipe.
Thanks for the post! I am sure my family and friends will be thrilled with these cookies!
Where can I find the recipe? The link does not give the recipe… Please, they look delicious!
Eftychia….thank you so much! Working on it in my second page right now! ;- )
Those look fantastic; a cookiefied peppermint patty. My hubby would go nuts over it. I’d love to find the recipe as well.
very nice! love the one with the non pareils! so pretty
What yummy cookies Anne! I love the flavors of chocolate and mint together! Mmmmmmm! Hope you’re having a great weekend. : )
Welcome to Baked Sunday Mornings! Your cookies are adorable!
Oh, Anne… these cookies are just *so* pretty and I love the touch of mint coupled with sumptuous chocolate. Look at all the delicate jimmies you’ve decorated these with… how fun and visually appealing that they are all different. I must give these a try around the holidays. Lovely.
I love chocolate and mint together. These cookies sound delicious! Sprinkles!!! My husband and I have an ongoing argument whether it is sprinkles or jimmies – I am in the sprinkles camp
I love thumbprint cookies but have never had them with a gooey filling. These look so good and I love mint. YUM!
These look so good, Anne! I love the mint!!
Ooooo, I love this, Anne! I make thumbprints every year and what I make makes a big batch. I spend time every year trying to think of a way to fill some of them with something besides jam. I think I’ve found it now. Yay Anne!!
Nice ideas in your post…beautiful photo. I went with all chocolate, but am excited to try other versions, including the minty as in the recipe soon.
Oh those thumbprints look so beautiful! Love the filling!
These look gorgeous. I love all the flavour options for the filling. These are going on my ‘to make’ list right away!
Those are so dainty and pretty Ann! They also look melt in your mouth-ish. I love the other flavor combos you suggested too. Keeper!
So pretty! I love the glop of mint right there in the middle. I’m totally keeping these in mind for the holidays!!
These are so fun, Anne. I love the combination, I will eat anything mint/chocolate. They are beautiful!
These look so yummy! I love the jam thumbprint cookies so I definitely want to try the chocolatey version! This has been bookmarked!
Cool idea with the different sprinkles… so much fun! Nicely done
I have to say….I like the colored sprinkles the best – so running out was a good thing! As always, Anne, these are stunning!
My mom made the betty crocker thumbprint cookies every Christmas. I’ve never tried the chocolate and mint version, but if they sound half as good as I imagine them to be, they’d be completely and utterly irresistible. Fantastic recipe!
Did you just say ‘peppermint white chocolate?’ Oh. My. God. My heart just fluttered! Bookmarked!!!!
Oh, gosh…I need to check the Baked schedule again! My kids would have loved these beauties! Mmmmm.
These are so irresistibly pretty! The white peppermint filling sounds crazy delicious! Thanks for the sweet comment on Foodbuzz – your blog is beautiful!
And here I thought only Philly and Jersey people said Jimmies
Love it!
I love this recipe. The cookies look so good. I am always looking for something with peppermint. Just in time for the holidays. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yum do these look soooo good! And what a great idea to use different flavors.
Oooey gooey chocolate thumbprints! YUM! And so festive!
Oh wow! These look so good! Mint sounds wonderful, but so do all your other flavor ideas!
Well, you had us at peppermint white chocolate. How clever is that? And, they look beautiful, too. 4 whisks, indeed!
Your photo is just irresistible with the filling just oozing out.. it’s mouthwatering. Chocolate and mint, of course, a classic. Come Christmas baking time these will be on the list, no doubt!
Oh goodness, do those ever look fantastic!! I would make these for Christmas
I’m not usually a big fan of mixing chocolate and mint. I’m one of the few people that doesn’t love girl scout thin mints or mint chocolate chip ice cream. However, I have to admit I really enjoyed these cookies. The mint flavored filling was mild and tasted great. You have a winner Anne.
