Oatmeal White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are full of holiday sweetness. These cookies mix together oats with white chocolate chips, peppermint M&Ms and crushed candy cane along with peppermint extract. Santa is going to love these cookies!
Santa loves a good Christmas cookie, right? Well I can guarantee you these Oatmeal White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are going to be a hit with him this year.
One of my favorite things about these cookies is the candy that is baked inside these beauties. You are going to get three different types of candy mixed into these oatmeal cookies. Yup.
You heard that right! White chocolate chips, peppermint M & Ms and crushed candy cane create the perfect balance of chocolate and peppermint flavor. This recipe also adds in peppermint extract to give them that extra cool, peppermint flavor we all love so much this time of year.
You might remember last year when I shared these mouthwatering Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies and these White Chocolate Toasted Coconut Cookies with you. Those were also a big hit in my house and make the rotation at the holidays.
