Layered Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
You had me at marshmallow cream!
Seriously, this rich chocolate cookie is balanced out with a creamy marshmallow filling that pairs perfectly with these layered chocolate peppermint cookies.
Make up a batch for your holiday company. Or make up a plate of them for Santa.
This yummy treat starts with the same base cookie recipe as in our Triple Chocolate Nutella Cookies.
From there, it gets a face lift with yummy bits of peppermint and peppermint flavor. Split the dough and make half a batch of each.
Then sandwich two cookies together with a creamy inside filling. They’ll be hard to share.

Peppermint is my weakness this time of year. These cookies look so dreamy and perfect for my upcoming cookie exchanges.

I am pinning this for sure. Not only do the cookies themselves sound super yummy… nutella!! Then add in the peppermint part… a great combination of flavors.
