Chocolate peppermint cookie recipe from Epcot

December 9, 2020 by Becky 6 Comments

Chocolate peppermint cookie recipe from Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays:

It is rare to go to Epcot now and not have a festival happening. For awhile the Food and Wine Festival was the main one, and then Flower and Garden was added. However, more have popped up throughout the years and one of my favorites is the Festival of the Holidays. Like all Epcot festivals it features a number of food booths, each with a different theme around the holidays.

And of course cookies are a big part of that! Christmas cookies are a staple for the season, and Epcot has a variety. They even have a “cookie stroll” where you get a little passport and can get it stamped for trying different cookies. If you try all 5 on the list you get a bonus cookie, only available to those who complete the cookie stroll!

I am very into Christmas cookie baking so I knew I had to try and recreate some of these at home. One of my favorites is one that isn’t being offered in 2020 but has been seen at Festival of the Holidays in years past. It’s the chocolate peppermint cookie. I love the chocolate and mint combo and they are so pretty with the crushed candy canes on top!

    These look so yummy!! I miss candy canes so much. I can’t have corn or soy, which pretty much knocks candy canes off the table, so I have to get creative with my peppermint usage. These are a great way to make that happen!

    I never tried chocolate peppermint cookies. They are such a Christmas staple in the US though. I know I like mint chocolate, so I bet these will be amazing too!

    Oh, hello! Chocolate and peppermint is such a classic flavor combination, especially this time of year. And I am obsessed. I am usually the person who adds a candy cane to my hot cocoa, so you know I will have to try out these cookies. Yum!
