Peppermint Oreo Cookies are simply our favorite cookie during the holiday season. I should be ashamed that we have already eaten two batches but I am not. Truly these cookies are that good. Here is a great cookie recipe for the holidays. The combination is a little unexpected yet creates a cookie that really stands out from the crowd.
This recipe uses a box of white cake mix instead of flour which creates a soft and moist cookie every time. The combination of crushed Oreo cookies, peppermint, and dark chocolate is simply delightful. The perfect cookie to be shared (and eaten) during the holidays.
