No-Bake Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies
Romulo Yanes
We’ll be honest: these are really more of a confection then a cookie, but that’s all the more reason to give them a spin this season. The peppermint candies that get pressed into the dough give these slice and bake sweets a festive look but they’re not your only option. You could just as easily roll this no-bake dough in crushed toasted pistachios or even roasted cocoa nibs for a double chocolate experience. These are on the delicate side so you’ll want to slice these just before serving. Put them out after a big holiday meal or leave a plate for Santa and his elves.
How to Make It
Step 1
Process the cookies in a food processor until finely ground, about 1 minute. Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, mascarpone, and salt. Process until the dough forms a ball, 20 to 30 seconds.
Step 2
Dust the work surface with the cocoa. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 10-inch log. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 3
Transfer the crushed candies to a piece of parchment paper. Roll each log in the candy until covered. Cut the logs into ½-inch slices and serve.

This is a good recipe! I would make a few changes, however. When you try to roll the dough in the peppermint after only chilling it a couple hours, it tends to fall apart in your hands easily. I haven't tried this yet but next time I will freeze it solid and then thaw it enough so that the peppermint sticks to it, and then roll it. When you freeze it and thaw it to slice it, it holds its shape much better. Also, don't try to crush the peppermint candy yourself! It's frustrating and difficult. Buy it already crushed. But after you make these changes, the cookies are delicious AND easy!

Where can I buy the chocolate wafer cookies? Can I use the rectangle-shaped sandwich wafer cookies that already have a cream filling? Or will Oreos do? I want to make these for our neighbors this week. Please help! :)
