Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Chilling Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 20 chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos, or use plain chocolate wafers
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round until smooth.
Stir in the peppermint extract until fully combined.
Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate using a fork, coating completely.
Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated cookie on the parchment-lined sheet.
Repeat until all cookies are dipped.
Chill the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
