Peppermint Sugar Cookie Dough Bark
Guess what time it is? It’s PEPPERMINT time!! Good-bye Halloween candy, hello candy canes.
You guys have no idea how excited I am that it’s time for all things peppermint, gingerbread, and Christmas. This is my favorite time of year for baking…and for everything else too.
This is the time of year I convince myself I need to throw a party. A big one, for all my friends and family. We’ll do it on a Saturday in December and everyone will come and bring food and we’ll play Christmas music and drink wine and cocktails and eat cookies.
And then November hits.
And there are theatre shows and dance shows and birthday parties and family visits and trips and it would take Harry Potter’s magic to clear my schedule enough to be able to plan, host, or even attend my own party. So this year, instead of having a party in real life, I’m having a virtual one. A group of your favorite bloggers and I are joining together to host a Holiday Cocktail Party online, so you can come too!
And this Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bark is what I’m bringing to the party. Because (1) everyone likes bark this time of year and (2) it’s cookie dough. DUH.
When you go to a party, what do you like to bring? I love to bring the dessert (obviously). And I especially love finger-food desserts for holiday parties: cookies, candies, truffles, bark. They’re easy to serve, easy to eat, and I can bring them in a disposable dish so I won’t lose my favorite pie plate or the bottom to my springform pan.
A few years ago I made Sugar Cookie Bark. It’s a recipe that I made for my father-in-law, Mark. He was the one who was so addicted to sugar cookies that I had to make him his own batch every year. I also made different variations of sugar cookies for him at every birthday, like bars or sprinkle cookies. I even dedicated a recipe in my book to him, using sugar cookie dough, like this bark. Mark would have inhaled this bark, faster than I could make it, that’s for sure.
Because everyone loved that sugar cookie bark so much, and because I love sugar cookies with candy canes, and because I’m addicted to bark right now, I decided to make this Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bark for the Cocktail Party Hop.
And you need to make it for your next holiday party too!
