Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 (12-ounce) package bright white candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (plus additional for brushing)
  • 22 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red or pink luster dust

Instructions

  • Prepare the Candy Coating:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Melt the candy melts according to package directions. Stir in coconut or vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract until smooth.
  • Dip the Cookies:
    • Using a fork, dip one cookie at a time into the melted candy coating.
    • Gently tap the fork to remove any excess coating.
    • Place the coated cookies on the prepared baking sheet and let them set at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  • Add Decorative Stripes:
    • Mix luster dust with a few drops of peppermint extract in a small bowl to create a brushable paste.
    • Use a small food-safe paintbrush to paint stripes or lines across the tops of the cookies.
  • Store and Serve:
    • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Substitute coconut oil with vegetable oil if desired.
  • Use any color of luster dust to match your festive theme.
  • For a more pronounced peppermint flavor, lightly brush the cookies with peppermint extract before decorating.
