Description
A delightful treat combining Ritz crackers with a sweet cream cheese filling, all drizzled with chocolate and a hint of mint.
Ingredients
Scale
- Ritz Crackers
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add peppermint extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cookies: Spread a generous layer of the creamy filling onto one Ritz cracker and sandwich it with another Ritz cracker.
- Chill the Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
- Coat the Cookies: Dip each chilled sandwich in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Let Them Set: Place the coated cookies back on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
- Enjoy and Share: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the best filling consistency. Chill the cookies before dipping them to maintain shape.
