Peppermint Cookie Bark and Snickerdoodle Cookie Bark are sweet treats for the holiday cookie tray.
With the holidays, there are often the staple recipes that we all make every year, but sometimes you just need to change it up a bit. In Philly, the holiday cookie tray game is fierce. I have friends that are baking for hours on end just to get the perfect cookie tray and the Facebook feed is filled with the tales of hours of baking, dramatic stories of ovens misbehaving, etc. While I am in awe and applaud their tenacity and patience to achieve the ultimate perfect cookie – this gal doesn’t have time for that. Between work and the day to day, I want something quick and easy but delivers on flavor!
So, with the urge to bake some cookies for friends and neighbors, I decided to look for some recipe inspiration. Holiday cookies are everywhere but it was two words that caught my eye – Cookie Bark. Yes – you read that right – cookie bark. I often make candy bark for the holidays and it’s one of those treats that is always well loved. So – if you tell me I can do something in cookie form – well then, I need to give it a whirl.
These cookie bark recipes couldn’t be easier to make. Essentially, you make the dough, add it to a baking sheet, form into a square and bake. When it comes out of the oven, you spread it with white chocolate and a bit of flavoring – whether it’s crushed peppermint candies or cinnamon sugar and a bit of sparkling sanding sugar and let it cool. Break into rustic shards and nestle them on the cookie tray or in a lined box perfect for holiday gift giving. See – easy peasy!
