Try a new twist on a peppermint stick this Christmas! Fudgy chocolate cookie “sticks” get dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies for a treat that’ll really stand out on your cookie tray—but doesn’t actually require much hands-on time. Unlike cutouts or drop cookies, these easy cookies are cut from a slab of dough and cut into sticks after baking. This quick process leaves you with more time for decorating, which is a fun way to involve little bakers who will love dipping, sprinkling or even just licking bowls!

    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter, water and egg with spoon until dough forms. Divide dough in half; place on ungreased large cookie sheet. Press each into 14x2 1/2-inch rectangle. (If dough is sticky, use floured fingers.)

    Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges and center are set. Cool 1 minute; cut crosswise into 1-inch wide slices with sharp knife, cleaning knife blade, as needed. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Move slices from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

    Working with one cookie slice at a time, hold center of cookie stick and carefully dip one end at an angle into melted chocolate; slide bottom of slice on edge of bowl to remove excess. Place on waxed paper. Sprinkle with crushed candies. Repeat with remaining cookie slices. If chocolate has cooled too much, reheat. Let stand about 4 hours or until chocolate is set. Store covered in airtight container in single layer.
