Why You’ll Love Peppermint Oatmeal Cookies

What You Need

These peppermint oatmeal cookies are the perfect amount of “minty” with everything else going on with them.

• oats
• whole wheat flour
• coconut oil
• coconut sugar – You could also use brown sugar for a more molasses-y taste.
• egg
• peppermint extract – I really love this one!
• baking soda

How to Make Healthy Peppermint Cookies

These easy peppermint cookies will make you feel like a pro in the kitchen!

First, preheat your oven to 350 and line your baking sheet. Mix your wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls, and then mix them together in a large bowl.

Then, roll the dough into 12 small balls and place on the cooking sheet.

Finally, bake for 10-12 minutes. So easy! It will be hard, but allow ample time for them to cool and harden up slightly.

I’m already looking forward to the holiday Christmas cookie exchanges because I always come home with the most creative combinations.

Storage

These healthy peppermint whole wheat raisin cookies freeze well, too! I just throw extras in a stasher bag, and enjoy until New Year’s! They may not even last that long.

They will be good up to 2 months in the freezer.

Some other cookies that we love, even though they aren’t holiday-ish, are coconut flour oatmeal cookies and pumpkin no bake cookies.
