They look fancy, but they\u2019re totally doable \u2014 and they\u2019re perfect for cookie boxes, swaps, or a festive baking day. Ready to roll?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you\u2019ll fall in love<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think <strong>Chocolate <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/red-velvet-crinkle-cookies-christmas-themed-dessert\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1191\">Christmas Cookies<\/a><\/strong> meets candy-cane glamour. The biscuit has a tender snap, the peppermint filling sings bright and cool, and the chocolate seal gives a satisfying bite. Make them as tubes or keep it simple and sandwich the filling between two cookies \u2014 both work.<br><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <strong>Chill the <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/easy-italian-nut-roll-cookies-best-nut-roll-recipe\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1189\">rolled cookies<\/a> before baking<\/strong> so they keep their shape and don\u2019t collapse in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The backstory \u2014 how these came to be<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I first dreamed up these when a baking buddy and I did a holiday bake-off (shoutout to Trang at Wild Wild Whisk). She made peppermint truffle pops, I whipped up these little cylinders. We swapped samples, took too many photos, and then the neighbors disappeared \u2014 into a chocolate-and-peppermint haze. Ever since, these have been my go-to \u201cunique gift\u201d cookie. They look like a lot of effort, but honestly? They\u2019re mostly patience and a bit of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes each part work (ingredients, briefly)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flour &amp; cocoa:<\/strong> The base \u2014 use either Dutch-process or regular cocoa depending on how deep you want the chocolate flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Unsalted lets you control saltiness.

Sift in the dry ingredients (flour + cocoa + a pinch of salt) and mix until the dough just comes together. If it feels sticky, chill for 10\u201315 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 \u2014 Roll it thin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Place dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll very thin \u2014 think tissue-thin. Peel one sheet of parchment away, then flip and peel the other side to prevent sticking. Use a 4-inch cutter to stamp out squares (rounds work too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 \u2014 Roll around the straw<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peel back a bit of dough on one side, lay a 1cm straw near the edge, lift the dough carefully and wrap it onto the straw. Use an offset spatula if the dough wants to tear. <strong>Be gentle \u2014 the dough is thin and delicate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 \u2014 Chill before baking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrange tubes on a lined tray and <strong>chill in the fridge<\/strong> for at least 20 minutes. This firms the dough so it keeps the tube shape instead of slumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 \u2014 Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bake about 8\u201312 minutes (ovens vary) until the tubes look dry. They toughen a bit while cooling, so don\u2019t overbake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 \u2014 Remove the straw<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the cookies cool for a few minutes, then push the straw gently through to release it. If a tube sticks, wiggle and push from the other side \u2014 it should slide out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 \u2014 Make the peppermint filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beat butter with glucose and salt, add powdered sugar in two stages, then add peppermint extract and a splash of milk until the filling is thick and pipeable. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small tip (or cut a tiny hole).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 \u2014 Pipe and seal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pipe the peppermint cream into each tube from both ends until it\u2019s just visible. Dip both ends into melted dark chocolate and immediately sprinkle crushed candy cane on top. Let chocolate set on a rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <strong>Don\u2019t overfill<\/strong> \u2014 the filling expands slightly and you don\u2019t want it oozing out when dipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro tips for flawless rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peel and flip before cutting<\/strong> \u2014 this prevents the dough from tearing when you roll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Work on a cool surface<\/strong>; warm hands make the dough sticky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If the dough cracks while rolling<\/strong>, gently press the crack seam with your spatula \u2014 small breaks seal fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you hate rolling<\/strong>, cut circles and sandwich the peppermint cream between two cookies, then dunk half-in chocolate for a simpler version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store unfilled cookies<\/strong> in an airtight container for a week; fill and dip within 48 hours for best texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <strong>Toast your crushed candy cane lightly<\/strong> for a subtler crunch and less harsh peppermint bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations to try (because why not)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make <strong>dark, extra-crunchy<\/strong> versions by adding chopped toasted nuts to the filling \u2014 think pistachio or hazelnut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swap peppermint for <strong>orange extract<\/strong> and use white chocolate + candied orange for a citrus twist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn them into <strong>Chocolate Peppermint Spoons<\/strong> by rolling smaller and attaching a small chocolate \u201cspoon\u201d on one end \u2014 cute for gifting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a <strong>Chewy<\/strong> version: add a tablespoon of golden syrup to the dough to keep them more tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a rustic crumble style, press some crushed cookies on the chocolate ends to make <strong>Chocolate Peppermint Crumble Cookies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FYI:<\/strong> if you love bold textures, try a sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate before it sets \u2014 sweet, bitter, salty bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Irresistible-Chocolate-Peppermint-Roll-Cookies-\u2014-Must-Make-Chocolate-Christmas-Cookies-3.webp\" alt=\"Close-up of a platter of rolled chocolate cookies filled with peppermint cream and sprinkled with crushed candy cane, styled with Dark Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies, tiny decorative Chocolate Peppermint Spoons, and crumb-covered Chocolate Peppermint Crumble Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Roll.\" class=\"wp-image-54748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Irresistible-Chocolate-Peppermint-Roll-Cookies-\u2014-Must-Make-Chocolate-Christmas-Cookies-3.webp 1024w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Irresistible-Chocolate-Peppermint-Roll-Cookies-\u2014-Must-Make-Chocolate-Christmas-Cookies-3-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Irresistible-Chocolate-Peppermint-Roll-Cookies-\u2014-Must-Make-Chocolate-Christmas-Cookies-3-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Irresistible-Chocolate-Peppermint-Roll-Cookies-\u2014-Must-Make-Chocolate-Christmas-Cookies-3-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to serve and gift them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arrange on a cookie board alongside decorating tools and tiny signs: \u201cChocolate Peppermint Cookies\u201d and \u201cTry warm with cocoa.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack in cellophane tubes or tins with parchment layers \u2014 they look stunning and transport well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plate with fresh mint and a dusting of cocoa for a <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/cranberry-christmas-cake-festive-holiday-desserts\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1190\">holiday dessert<\/a> table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use as edible garnishes: a small broken piece sits perfectly on top of a peppermint mousse or chocolate tart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <strong>Label your gift boxes<\/strong> with whether cookies contain nuts, extracts, or dairy \u2014 helpful for swaps and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage &amp;

data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Make the cookie dough<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-1\">Whisk together the melted butter, egg white and peppermint extract in a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Sift the flour, cocoa and icing sugar over the wet mix and stir with a spatula until the mixture begins to come together. Toward the end, use your hands to form a cohesive dough.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Divide the dough into three portions. Work with one portion at a time and keep the others covered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Roll and cut<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Place one piece of dough between two large sheets of baking paper. Roll very thin (aim for roughly 1 mm). Carefully peel back the top sheet of paper, then replace and flip the dough so you can remove the other sheet \u2014 this helps loosen it from the paper.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Use a square cutter about 10 cm (4 in) across (round cutters work too) to stamp out shapes. Move away excess dough as you go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Form the rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Position a half-straw about 5 mm from the front edge of a cut piece. Lift the front edge with an offset spatula or small knife and wrap the dough around the straw, rolling gently until you have a neat tube. Transfer tubes to a lined baking tray, spacing them about 2\u20133 cm (1\u20131\u00bd in) apart. Repeat with remaining dough and straws.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Chill the trays in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes \u2014 this step helps the rolls keep their shape in the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Bake &amp; unmold<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F) or 180\u00b0C fan (fan-forced). Bake the chilled rolls for about 10 minutes, until dry to the touch.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Remove from oven and cool 5\u201310 minutes. To extract a straw, hold the cookie gently in one hand and push the straw through from one side until it slides out the other. Allow cookies to cool fully before filling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Prepare the peppermint fondant<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">In a mixer, beat the softened butter with glucose (or corn syrup) and a pinch of salt. Add half the icing sugar and beat until light. Add the remaining icing sugar, then stir in the peppermint extract and about half the milk. Add more milk a teaspoon at a time until the mixture pipes easily but still holds shape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Fill the rolls &amp; finish<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Fit a small piping tip to a bag and pipe the peppermint cream into the center of each tube from one end, then from the other, until the filling reaches the middle. Don\u2019t overfill.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Line a tray with baking paper and place a wire rack on top. Melt the dark chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between intervals to avoid burning. Dip each tube end into the melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle with crushed candy cane. Set on the wire rack until the chocolate firms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Quick alternate method (no rolling)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">If you prefer not to roll tubes, cut rounds from slightly thicker rolled dough and bake 8\u20139 minutes. Sandwich two rounds together with the peppermint cream and dip the edges in chocolate and crushed candy cane.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>Use chilled dough and a brief fridge rest before baking \u2014 this prevents the thin cookies from spreading or losing their tubular shape.<\/li>\n<li>You can substitute light corn syrup for glucose; both give the filling a smooth, pipeable texture.<\/li>\n<li>Work on a cool surface and handle the thin dough gently to avoid tearing. Small repairs can be smoothed with a dab of dough.<\/li>\n<li>Unfilled, baked tubes keep well in an airtight tin for several days \u2014 fill and dip within 48 hours for the best texture.<\/li>\n<li>To crush candy canes, place them in a sealed bag and bash lightly with a rolling pin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"svg-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-icon-color.color\"><use href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-instagram\"><\/use><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you make this recipe?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\"><p>Share a photo and tag us \u2014 we can&#8217;t wait to see what you&#8217;ve made!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-base-3-color\">Chocolate Peppermint Roll, Chocolate Christmas Cookies, Christmas Cookies Chocolate Peppermint, Dark Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Spoons, Chocolate Peppermint Crumble Cookies, Unique Christmas Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Cookies, Peppermint Cream<\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolate Peppermint Roll Cookies \u2014 a showstopping peppermint-chocolate spiral These Chocolate Peppermint Roll cookies are little chocolate tubes filled with a creamy peppermint center, dipped in more chocolate and showered with crushed candy cane.
