I’ve shared peppermint bark brownie cookies before, and they’ve been a huge hit! Since the full recipe didn’t fit in a mason jar, I adjusted it for a half batch. For the full recipe, follow this recipe.

Peppermint Bark Cookies
Ultra Fudgy brownie cookies with chunks of peppermint bark, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1/2 of 1 full package (18.4 ounce package) fudge brownie mix (9.2 ounces total)
- 1/2 of 1 full package (3.9 ounce package) instant chocolate fudge pudding mix, dry (so ~2 ounces total)
- 1/2 of 1 full Ghirardelli peppermint bark bar (or Hershey’s peppermint bar), coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
ADD IN LATER
- 2 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
- IN THE MASON JAR: Using a food scale, separate the brownie mix and pudding mix in exact halves. Add the brownie mix to the jar first (do not pack down). Add in the pudding mix (again don’t pack down). Add in the coarsely chopped peppermint bark bar, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. Seal the mason jar, add a ribbon with a miniature whisk (if desired), and attach the free printable recipe attachment (or the following directions)
- RECIPE TO ATTACH: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together room temperature cream cheese and room temperature butter until smooth. Beat in 1 large egg yolk. Add the mason jar mix and beat until a very thick dough is formed. Scoop out the cookies onto a parchment lined tray and bake for 13-16 minutes. (Underbake for an awesome brownie texture!)
Recipe Notes
Use a food scale for best results
I can only find the small squares of peppermint bark. How many ounces are in a full bar? Also, in the comments, peppermint extract is mentioned but it is not on the recipe. ?? Thanks for your help.
I searched for the same information and found bars on the Ghirardelli site at 3.5 ounces. Do you think that seems about right?
Yes that is correct!
I am so excited to gift these for Christmas! I have some family with dairy, gluten, and soy sensitivities. Any recommendations for substitutions to still make this recipe work?
Honestly I’m not very experienced in cooking without gluten, dairy, and soy. I wish I could be of more help
Ha me neither 🙈 thanks for getting back to me!
Of course! Sorry I couldn’t help :/. Happy Holidays!
Hi, I’m going to try this recipe for gifts so I’ll be using the mason jars. However, I noticed in the full recipe, you added flour and that is not in the mason jar recipe. Will that make a difference in the cookies? Thanks so much for the lovely gift idea!!
Hi Stephanie! I tested the half batch a couple of times because it is a bit different than the full batch of these cookies 🙂 So you don’t need the flour in the half batch! Hope that helps and Merry Christmas!
Yes, thanks so much!!
Thank you for wonderful Christmas Presents for Family and Friends. Your directions are easy to follow.
Thanks Ann! 🙂
