Peppermint Mocha Cookies
Feb 22, 2025 10:35 AM
These whimsical cookies use the same dough to make marbled Peppermint Mocha Cookies. Chewy and moist sugar cookie dough is flavored with rich cocoa, coffee, and peppermint flavors to make a cookie that tastes just like your favorite holiday drink!
The marbled effect is stunning while requiring very little effort. What is really great is that all three flavors start from the same batch of cookie dough.
After dividing the dough, I put each back in the mixing bowl to blend in the flavors and colors. To keep from discolouring the wrong dough, start with the coffee, followed by the pink peppermint, and end with the chocolate dough.
Take a portion of each dough, about 2 teaspoons each, and roll until smooth. Smoosh the three colours together and give the dough a twist. Roll into a smooth ball. You want to swirl the colors for a more marbled effect, but don't mix too much or the sections won't be as clear.
