Since my recipe for Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies has been so popular, I know these easy cookies are going to be a bit hit too!

Ingredients for Christmas Cookies

• Ritz Crackers – salty, flaky and slightly sweet!
• Chocolate and White Chocolate candy melts, the dark chocolate for dipping, the white to drizzle.
• peppermint chocolate patties – such a great combination of flavors
• peppermint candy – crushed so they are easy to sprinkle.

Steps to make Ritz Cracker Cookies

1. Preheat the oven.  
2. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet, add the crackers. Top with mini peppermint chocolate patties and place in the oven until the candies just begin the melt.
3. Remove from oven and sandwich another cracker on the melted candy and lightly press together to flatten. Repeat with remaining crackers.
4. Refrigerate to allow candy to harden. 
5. Melt the chocolate candy in a microwave-proof bowl stirring every 20-seconds until smooth. 
6. Coat the refrigerated crackers in the melted chocolate.
7. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place on parchment covered cookie sheet or tray. 
8. Melt white candy melts and drizzle over cookies and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.

Ritz Cookies

See the peppermint patty inside? And the flaky crispy cracker? Perfection if you ask me! I love to work with chocolate and these are so easy to make!

When the chocolate has set you just drizzle the white candy over them and sprinkle with the crushed peppermint candy! Easy Peasy!!

How do you dip Ritz crackers in chocolate?

Holding the cookie between two forks makes it easy to dunk the cookie in the chocolate and allow the excess to drizzle off.

What can I substitute in the center of the cookie?

• Rollo’s or chocolate-covered caramels
• Caramel
• Peanut Butter Cups
• Any nut butter: almond, peanut butter or Nutella, use your favorite!

If peppermint patties aren’t your cookie of choice, there are several things you can substitute for the center.

You can also change up the sprinkles to go with your party theme or favorite holiday!

 These are a sure hit no matter where to bring them and they are so easy you will want to include them on your holiday cookie platters! I promise everyone will be raving over these!!
