Peppermint Bark Cookies

Step 1

Place the cookies in the fridge just while preparing the chocolate. Crush the candy canes in a blender or food processor to get crumbs. Prepare a large sheet pan by covering it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pour the chocolate chips into a large microwave safe bowl. Add in the vegetable oil and peppermint extract. (Add extract for an extra peppermint-y treat!) Mix well.

Step 3

Microwave in bursts of 20 second stirring in between each burst for about 10-15 seconds until the chocolate is melted.

Step 4

Patiently and slowly melting the chocolate will ensure you don't burn it. To make it easier, you can separate the white chocolate into 2 batches and only melt one at a time!

Step 5

Remove the cookies from the freezer and place one cookie on a fork over the bowl of melted chocolate. Use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the cookie and fork.

Step 6

Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

Step 7

Transfer the dipped cookie onto the prepared sheet pan.

Step 8

Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over top. Repeat for all the cookies.

Step 9

If desired, dip just half a cookie in the melted chocolate for some fun variety!

Step 10

Let the cookies harden at room temperature.
