If you are looking for a standout cookie for the holiday tray, these get extra points for indulgence. Fluffy mint buttercream is sandwiched between rich dark chocolate brownies, which are then rolled in crushed candy cane for a festive look and an extra little satisfying crunch.
Use a good quality dark chocolate for these and take care to beat the eggs and sugar together until they are light and foamy to ensure that shiny, crackly top characteristic of great brownies. The texture becomes denser and even more decadent if served chilled.

Ingredients
Brownie Cookie
- 12 oz / 350g dark chocolate finely chopped, divided
- 1/4 cup/ 57g unsalted butter
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 3/4 cup / 150g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup/ 60g all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Mint Buttercream
- 1/2 cup / 112g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup / 120g confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 tsp mint extract
Garnish
- Candy canes crushed
Instructions
Brownie Cookies
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized, microwave safe bowl, melt 6 oz / 175g of the chopped chocolate and butter in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the melted, cooled, chocolate, and mix them together on low speed just until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Sift the flour mixture into the egg and chocolate mixture. Fold together until combined and then fold in the remaining 6 oz / 175g chopped chocolate.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes or until the batter is firm enough to scoop. This may take longer if the chocolate was not quite room temperature.
- Scoop the cookie dough using a #70 (2 1/2-teaspoon) portion scoop onto the prepared baking sheet. You can make the cookies larger or smaller, but it will affect the baking time. Refrigerate the dough balls for about 30 minutes or until they are no longer sticky.
- Roll the dough balls between the palms of your hands to create smooth dough. Return to the refrigerator or freezer until ready to bake. You can make the cookies to this point several days ahead and freeze them in zip lock bags.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the chilled dough balls on the cookie sheets, spacing them about 3-inch apart.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, in the middle of the oven for about 8 minutes, until the tops are puffed and just start to crack. Take care to not overbake them or they will lose their fudgy brownie texture. I like to bake them the day they will be served, so only bake as many as you need and leave the rest of the dough balls in the freezer for future bakes.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before peeling them off the parchment paper to fill them.
Mint Buttercream
- In a medium bowl, mix the butter and confectioners’ sugar with a wooden spoon or handheld mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add the mint extract to taste.
- Using a knife or a pastry bag fitted with a round decorating tip, spread the buttercream onto half of the cookies and then top with the remaining cookies.
Finishing Touch
- Dip the edges in the crushed candy cane. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. These can also be made a day ahead.

My sons gifted me your cookie and your cake books for Christmas. I already owned your bread books and love them. Then of course, my oven conked out two days before Christmas.

These cookies look amazing! The perfect combination of mint and chocolate, who can resist that.

I love brownie cookies. These look divine!
These cookies are cute, festive, so yummy, and I can hardly wait to take them for our cookie exchange!
Can’t wait to try baking these!!
I can’t wait to try these. I guess I never thought to make a brownie in a cookie shape and even to add filling between two brownie cookies.
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe, with modifications for husband, who does not appreciate the magic of chocolate and mint together. Think I’ll try orange extract, rather than mint. Maybe some chopped candied orange peel in place of the crushed candy canes.
These cookies look very tempting. With the crushed candy edge they will standout on a cookie table. Does anyone have any tips for crushing the candy? I am afraid of plastic bags.
Perhaps a paper lunch bag to crush candy canes in??
Put the candy cakes on the freezer first for about 30 minutes. Then, place them in a large Manila envelope. Then beat them with a rolling pin, rolling over the broken pieces to break them up more.
your recipes are easy to follow but also feel elevated at the same time! love!
I love chocolate cookies for Christmas!
What a fun way to re-purpose brownie batter in to something way more glam and gooooooood.
These cookies are just about my idea of the perfect cookie for the holiday! I’m definitely trying this recipe!
I miss Zoe on the Magnolia Channel. Just made her Rum Raisin Oatmeal Cookies and they are the best. Looking forward to making this new recipe. Thankyou Zoe for teaching me to enjoy baking.

I only love mint when it’s combined with chocolate so these look lovely. I would probably forgo the crushed candy canes and sub in Andes mints or even just some red & green sprinkles because I think the candy canes would be too much mint for me otherwise. These do look delicious though!
Looks yummy.
Fun giveaway!
I can’t wait to make these with my grandkids this holiday season!
These look delicious, and I can’t wait to try them.
Drool! These look amazing.

These look amazing! I’m always intimidated by making a sandwich cookie, but I’m going to give them a try. I’m wondering how I could also repurpose these because I do Christmas and Hanukkah and have LOTS of blue and white sprinkles. Maybe a vanilla filling?
Yes please!!
These cookies look delicious! Thank you for sharing and thank you to your sponsors.
Well those look amazing! And you’re right, Land O Lakes is superior butter 🙂

My family loves the chocolate mint flavors!
Thanks for the fabulous recipe! Do the cookies have to be served cold?
Two of my favorite flavors mixed into one perfect cookie!! The recipe reminds me of my favorite holiday dessert: peppermint ice cream with hot fudge sauce, topped off with crushed peppermint pieces. I will DEFINITELY be making these this weekend during my holiday baking!!!
Might have to add this one to my cookie boxes this year!

I just added these to this years cookie box.
Yum! I love that they have the brownie crinkle top.

What a perfect cookie to celebrate the holidays! I can’t wait to share with friends and family
I love the combo of chocolate mint during the holidays!
Thank you for posting this recipe! I love a good sandwich cookie and even better with crushed candy canes. Happy Holidays!
I just started following you after seeing your show on the Magnolia network. Your laughter on the show is infectious and I’ve also learned some baking tips.
I plan on making these yummy looking cookies next week.
I’m so happy I discovered your baking! Your vibrant personality, mouthwatering recipes, and perfection to every detail make everything you create feel comforting, impressive, and irresistible!
These sound fantastic! I love that the icing is sandwiched. I make a similar one where it’s piped on top, but worry about them holding up in a cookie exchange. Thank you!!
These cookies look to die for!
These look scrumptious! I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for all the great recipes and stories!!
Those cookies look yummy! Can’t wait to try them.
Looking forward to making these delicious cookies. If it’s your recipe they’ll be beyond wonderful. Thank you.

This looks like something I could actually do!! I don’t know why I get so intimidated by cookie recipes, but you make them approachable!
This recipe is the perfect addition to our cookie making day!
These look so delicious! My favorite flavors together in one recipe. Can’t wait to make them!
The cookies look delicious. I love your cookie book. If I win I’d keep the signed copy and give away the one I have. I had an original version of the 1963 cookie book that I bought for my Dad as a Christmas present. My first gift to him as a child. When my nephew married in 2022 I gifted it to him and his bride with a couple Nordic ware pans for their wedding. Sometimes I wish I still had the book.
Holiday in a cookie! And a good equipment prep idea for creating cookie magic more easily —dough balls on covered stacked trays!
These cookies look phenomenal! Thank you for sharing the recipe and giveaway!
Yum!
Such a beautiful and delicious cookie! Perfect for Christmas!
Happy Holidays! Cannot wait to make some of your treats next week!
Zoe, I love the happiness you show when baking!
We’ve started a new tradition in our family – monthly Sunday Suppers where we invite friends, family, anyone who is looking for food, friendship and conversation to join us. I was just thinking of doing brownies for this Sunday’s Supper when I saw your recipe for Chocolate Brownie Mint Cookies and they not only look delicious, they’re also so festive!
These look sooo good! I still have my Cooky Book. The Cream Wafers are still an all time favorite!

What a great tip! To bake them the day of serving and keep dough balls in the freezer for future baking.
These look amazing.
I have that Betty Crocker cookbook from my Mom after she passed. Such wonderful memories as a kid making cookies with my Mom and sisters. It’s in pretty rough shape so I would love a new copy. I recently bought both your cookie and cake books so if I win I’ll gift it to someone.
Seeing the Cooky Book took me right back to my childhood and the nostalgia of baking for Christmas. I can’t wait to try this new cookie recipe, it combines two of my favorite flavors!
None of your recipes have ever disappointed! They become favorites I go back to time and time again!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. It looks like a keeper!

I have enjoyed your cookie cookbook so much. Seeing the 1963 Cookie Book makes me SO happy. My mom has the original and as a young girl would select all of the cookies we would make from that cookbook. Mary’s Sugar Cookies were a family favorite that we rolled on her old waxed tablecloth laid over a card table in the middle of the kitchen. Happy memories.
Nothing better than chocolate + peppermint!
So excited to make these! Just bought my peppermint candies to crush and would love the covered Nordic ware pan! Happy holidays!
Wow these look great. Can’t wait to bake them.

Absolutely a beautiful addition to any holiday cookie tower! Can’t wait to bake these today
Two of my favorites combined together – I can’t wait to try them!
Delicious! A must for your holiday cookie tray or cookie boxes!
Is it even Christmas without chocolate and peppermint? A must bake!
So seasonal and sound yummy!
These look amazing! I can’t wait to try & make them. My children (now 8 & 6) love your cooking show & have been watching it since it first launched on magnolia network. We’ve watched all of them countless times. They feel such a connection with you. Watching your baking & cooking has inspired them so much! They love being in the kitchen. We are constantly baking & cooking together. It is part of our family culture. Thank you for all you do & the positive impact you’ve had on my children. ❤️
