    These chocolate peppermint cookies are perfect for Christmas. These chocolate cookies are packed with peppermint flavor and a mix of espresso. These espresso cookies are going to become your favorite Christmas Cookies.

    Chocolate Peppermint Cookies with Espresso

    I love a good cookie. I mean, I might be a cookie junkie. So when Christmas comes around, I am always experimenting with new cookie recipes. This is one for the books. Chocolate peppermint cookies with espresso is a cookie to add to your Christmas cookie list.

    How Long Do Chocolate Peppermint Cookies Last

    These chocolate peppermint cookies will last for about 2 weeks as long as they are stored properly. While I do not store my cookies in the refrigerator, I have heard other do to make them last longer.

    How to Store Espresso Cookies

    When these cookies have cooled, you will want to store them where they are protected from the air. This will keep your cookies from getting stale. I like to store my cookies in a freezer bag but you can also use an airtight container or on a plate covered with plastic wrap.

    Can Chocolate Espresso Cookies Be Frozen

    Yes. There are a few ways that you can freeze these cookies. You can make the dough and freeze it as a whole. I like to do this with sugar cookies they the kids can take them out and cut them whenever they want to make crispy sugar cookies. You can also roll the cookies out into cookie dough balls and then freeze them. When I do this I like to freeze the cookies on a plate first and then move them to a freezer bag. This lets me be able to take only a few cookie dough balls out at a time without them all sticking together. You can also freeze already baked cookies. Again, I like to freeze them first before freezing them in a freezer bag.
