Soft and chewy sugar cookies filled with crushed candy canes, and chocolate Oreo cookies. These cookies are perfect for baking this Christmas because they are filled with tons of delicious peppermint and chocolate flavors. The crushed candy canes and chocolate Oreo cookies go perfectly together in these cookies. Everyone will love the chocolate and peppermint flavors.
The cookie dough is similar to making a classic sugar cookie dough, but instead of using vanilla extract, peppermint extract is used instead. Crushed candy canes and crushed Oreo cookies are also folded into the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls, and place them onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the center of the cookies comes out clean with a toothpick. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
