Easy soft and chewy sugar cookies made green with food coloring, and with a chocolate peppermint patty candy stuffed inside of each cookie. Each cookie is also topped with a mini heart shaped sprinkle. Everyone will love the soft and chewy texture of the cookies and the delicious chocolate peppermint surprise.
The cookie dough is made like a classic sugar cookie dough, except for the addition of food coloring. Roll the cookie dough into balls and place one peppermint patty in each cookie and roll into balls. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through. Remove from the oven and top with a heart sprinkle.
