Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars – Sugar Cookies in the form of a bar. Thick, chewy, and full of peppermint chips. Topped with a buttercream frosting and more peppermint shavings!
Come December everything is about peppermint. And I am all here for it. I love mint and it is something I have all year round, but peppermint desserts are definitely reserved for Christmas for most people.
These Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars are basically a thick sugar cookie in bar form. They are loaded with peppermint crunch baking chips, topped with a buttercream frosting and more baking chips! I didn’t use peppermint extract to flavor the dough or frosting, because I didn’t want it to overpower anything.
But if you love peppermint, and want that to really come out, I definitely recommend just a touch of extract to bring out that flavor. And if you have leftover peppermint chips, Peppermint Oreo Truffles are a great use for them!
