Last week I shared a recipe for Chocolate Marshmallow Moonpies as part of the Freaky Friday cookie exchange (a recipe from Bowl Me Over).
Well, I loved those cookies so much that I tried them with peppermint (my favorite flavor!).

How do I crush the candies?
To crush the candies, place them, or the candy canes, in a plastic zip top bag. Seal the bag. Place the bag with the candies on a wooden cutting board. And, with the bottom of a sturdy metal measuring cup, the bottom part of the handle of a metal ice cream scoop, or a flat meat pounder, smash the heck out of the candies in the bag.
And, it’s way cheaper than therapy to smash those little candies!
Cookie Exchange
Make these for the cookie exchange and you’ll surely win top prize. Make these for Santa, and he’ll surely leave extra presents for you. Make them for the holiday potluck or the neighborhood Christmas party.
I do have a habit of adding peppermint to cookies! Check out last year when I made some Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies into Peppermint Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies.

Peppermint Brownie Sandwich Cookies Recipe
Peppermint Brownie Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
- Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- Filling:
- 1 container marshmallow fluff
- Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder, set aside. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Mix the egg, sugar, and vanilla together in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Add the sour cream, ½ cup at a time, until well combined.
- Once the wet ingredients are well combined, add half of the dry ingredients. Continue adding the dry ingredients by spoonfuls until all of the dry ingredients are combined, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all of the ingredients.
- Using an ice cream scoop, drop the cookie dough by scoops onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake, 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are baked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Once cookies are completely cool, slather the bottom (the flat side) of one cookie with marshmallow fluff. Dip the marshmallow fluff into the crushed peppermint candies, and top it with a second cookie.
Recipe Notes
This recipe makes six large moonpies using a large ice cream scoop. If you're making smaller cookies, about 15 moonpies, you’ll want to reduce the baking time to 8-10 minutes. Mine used a cookie dough scoop that’s about 2 tablespoons, and I made about 9 moonpies (or 18 cookies), and they took 12 minutes to bake.
