Peppermint Brownie Cookie close up

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!).

They were amazing! So, I thought I’d share them with you. You know, if you agree that peppermint is amazing! Peppermint Brownie Sandwich Cookies!

How do I crush the candies?

To crush the {affiliate links} 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!

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.

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.
