Valentine’s Day Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies Recipe: A Sweet, Minty Delight

Sharing is caring!

There’s something magical about the combination of chocolate and peppermint that perfectly captures the spirit of the season—and these Triple Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies are no exception.

With rich layers of chocolate from cocoa powder, chunks of dark chocolate, and mini chocolate chips, each bite offers a trifecta of intense chocolate flavor.

Then, a swirl of cool peppermint adds the perfect touch, making these cookies irresistible for Valentine’s Day gatherings or cozy nights at home.

These cookies are the ideal balance of fudgy, chewy, and crisp around the edges—no crumbly or dry bites here. The peppermint enhances the richness of the dark chocolate without overpowering it, creating a flavor profile that’s as balanced as it is indulgent.

What’s even better? These cookies are easy to make ahead of time. The dough freezes well, so you can bake a fresh batch whenever the craving strikes.

These cookies are trending this holiday season for being festive, deliciously indulgent, and simple enough to pull off as a last-minute Valentine’s Day treat.

Why I Love This Recipe?

  • It’s like a chocolate lover’s dream come true! Each bite has layers of chocolate that are just perfectly balanced by that hint of peppermint.
  • Perfect for gifting or holiday swaps. They look and taste impressive, yet they’re super easy to whip up in big batches.
  • They stay chewy and fresh longer than most cookies, so they’re great for making ahead.
  • Customizable to your taste. I’ve tried them with white chocolate chunks and even a bit of espresso powder for extra depth—delicious!
  • My secret to extra chocolatey flavor? Let the dough chill overnight, allowing the flavors to deepen.
