Oreo Peppermint Crunch Cookies
Can I Use Mint Extract Instead of Actual Peppermints?
If you do not want to have pieces of peppermint in your cookies, you can use mint extract instead. You will want to use between 1 to 2 teaspoons of mint extract. You can adjust this according to how much mint flavor you want in your cookies.
Can This Cookies and Cream Cookies Dough be Frozen?
I love freezing cookie dough. If you want to be able to have these cookies and cream cookies on hand whenever you want them, freezing the dough is the best way. You can freeze the dough in two ways. First, you can freeze the dough as a whole batch. This is similar to when you buy the prepackaged cookie dough logs. You can roll the dough into a log shape and then wrap it in plastic. Another option is to back the cookie dough balls and then freeze them on a plate or a baking sheet. Once frozen, you can move them to an airtight container or freezer bag.
How to Store these Cookies
Once the cookies are cooled, you want to make sure to keep the cookies in an airtight container or in a freezer bag. This will keep the cookies from becoming hard and stale. If you have more cookies than you can eat before they go stale, you can also freeze the baked cookies. this is another way to have cookies on hand all time time.
How Long Do Oreo Peppermint Crunch Cookies Last
When you keep the cookies stored properly they will last about 5 days before starting to go stale. If you will not finish the cookies before they go bad, consider freezing them in a freezer bag to enjoy them later.
