Sometimes you want to make a dessert that’s fast and easy and will please a crowd.

And today I have a recipe to share that is all of those things.

And as a bonus you don’t even have to turn on your oven. These are amazing no-bake cookies that are perfect for the holidays. Whip up a batch for neighbors, teachers or family and you will definitely be on the good list this year.

This recipe includes a classic holiday flavor: peppermint

However, don’t let that keep you from making these all year long. These are perfect for anytime.

If you love a good York Peppermint Patty or a Junior Mint- you will definitely love these.

Ingredients

3 oz. softened cream cheese

3. cups powdered sugar

14 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 cup chocolate chips

14 cup butter

2 T. milk

Instructions

Mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and peppermint extract together. If using a Kitchen aid be sure to use your paddle accessory

Once combined and softened begin forming your patty

Take a small scoop and roll into a ball. Line up on a non-greased cookie sheet

Flatten each patty down with either the palm of your hand or use the bottom of a cup or jar

or make into the size of a Junior Mint- it’s up to you!

Chill for at least an hour

Make your chocolate  right before you are ready to drizzle on top

Melt chocolate chips, butter and milk together until smooth

Drizzle chocolate over top your mints and let sit for at least 10 minutes
