I used the mold I bought to make chocolate covered oreo cookies. They were the perfect size. If you don't have one you could use muffin tins but you will only get 12 larger cookies.
I sprinkled the bottoms of the mold with green and red sprinkles and it came out a little muddy looking in spots. I think I would only use red or perhaps different types of sprinkles instead of sugar next time. If you are making them in muffin tins, sprinkle the sugar or sprinkles on top.
Yield: 24 cookies

Peppermint patties are my younger daughter's favorite candy, especially this time of year so she'd love your filled cookies, Wendy! What a special surprise inside!
ReplyDeleteThey are fun cookies and may be one of my new favorites.
DeleteI love peppermint patties, especially this time of year. Now I might need to get the mold!
ReplyDeleteThey are very good and very decadent Karen.
DeleteFilled cookies?! That sounds dangerously delicious. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThey are Cam. Each cookie is the equivalent of 2 or 3 and I often did not stop at one.
DeleteIt's been years since I had a peppermint patty, but love the idea of using them to stuff a cookie with. I may just have to try this next year.
ReplyDeleteI think you will enjoy them Sid.
DeleteWendy I love peppermint patties. These cookies with the patty in the middle, brilliant idea.
