Ingredients

Instructions

  • Apply a generous layer of frosting to each chocolate cookie, leaving a bit of chocolate cookie showing out around the edges. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the coconut and powdered sugar. Use the pulse setting about 5 times to chop the coconut into small shreds.
  • Sprinkle a little bit of the sugared coconut on each cookie.
  • Use the clear sparkling sprinkles over the top to fill in any open gaps.
  • Press the peppermint patties into the bottom center of each cookie.
  • Press three junior mints on top of the peppermint patties.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use store bought or one of our homemade cookie recipes. We have two that work great.
  • Use store bought or homemade peppermint candies.
  • Use store bought or homemade icing.
  • Apply the icing layer thick enough where the peppermint patties can “stick” into it.
  • Use M&Ms and smaller chocolate cookies in place of the peppermint candies.
  • Sweetened coconut can also be used, if preferred.
  • You can make these cookies without coconut and use sprinkles, instead.
  • Store at room temperature or fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
