White Chocolate Dipped Cookies are really the best of several worlds! The recipe includes peppermint, Oreos, and chocolate. I mean what could be better then that?
There is just something about peppermint and winter that go hand in hand! It’s like they were meant to be together during the holidays! That’s why I am always looking for recipes that I can combine my love for all things holiday! That is why I really like this recipe for White Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies!
One of our favorite holiday baking traditions is our baking day. That is the day that we set aside to do nothing but bake. Granted with my oldest daughter’s schedule, it is harder to plan then it used it be, but we manage to get it done every year. The kids love helping in the kitchen, my big kid (aka Husband) like to be the taste taster, and me, well it’s about creating memories.
Before we get started on the recipe, here are a few answers to questions I have been asked about this White Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies recipe before:
DO I HAVE TO USE WHITE CHOCOLATE?
No, you can use regular, it’s totally up to you.
IN LIEU OF PEPPERMINT EXTRACT, CAN I USE THE PEPPERMINT BARK OREOS INSTEAD?
Absolutely! Those would be dreamy!
COULD I JUST SUBSTITUTE A LOT OF THE STEPS AND JUST BUY THE OREO PURE WHITE FUDGE COVERED COOKIES?
Sure! You can do that too! Whatever works for you! What matters is the memories that you are creating with your family!
