Introducing the cutest–and easiest–<\/em>festive holiday treat<\/a>. Peppermint Chocolate Cookie Cups are made with rich, fudgy chocolate cookie cups and filled with a silky peppermint cream. <\/span><\/p>\n\"peppermint\n

These are baked in a muffin or cupcake pan for ease, and there\u2019s no dough chilling required! You can even add a teaspoon or two of espresso powder to the cookie dough to give these a Peppermint Mocha vibe. <\/span><\/p>\n\"chocolate\n

Once the cookie cups are baked and cooled, pipe in that gorgeous, creamy peppermint cream and top it with a flurry of crushed peppermint. (I even added crushed peppermint to the frosting!)<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do that, be sure to crush the candy canes very finely (a food processor helps) so they don\u2019t get stuck in your piping tip. And be sure to use an open round tip like a Wilton 2A rather than a star tip, because small bits can still get stuck in the slits in a star tip. Alternatively, you can dollop the cream in with a spoon if you don\u2019t have a piping bag or piping tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"chocolate\n

These delightful little treats can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days before serving. You can also double the entire cookie cup recipe if you want more servings! I recommend that, because these will fly off the plates at any holiday party–don’t say you weren’t warned! <\/span><\/p>\n\"easy\n

I hope you love these fudgy bites of peppermint goodness as much as we do. Scroll on for the complete recipe–and have a very happy holiday!<\/span><\/p>\n
