Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookies
These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a holiday perfect cookie! A classic chocolate chip cookie base with a chocolate swirl and mint chips.
It’s official…I’ve got my Christmas baking on! And it’s taken everything I had in me not to start until this week! I figure why not start early, enjoy some treats now, and freeze the rest for later. Yum. First up on the baking list, these Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookies.
Minty and delicious.
These Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookies are a classic chocolate chip cookie with a chocolate swirl, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips and mint chips. The chocolate swirl is what gives these cookies the ‘blizzard’ name! Festive, minty and delicious.
Make now, freeze to bake later.
One of the BEST things about these cookies is that you can bake half of the batch to enjoy now, and also freeze half of the cookie dough for baking later! Genius for this time of year really. I love that you can take them out of the freezer as you need them, and then bake them fresh. This makes them a perfect cookie for last minute guests, or late night cookie cravings!
Mint Chocolate Chip Blizzard Cookie Recipe Tips
- The Melted Chocolate: When adding the melted chocolate, be careful not to over stir. You want a swirl effect, and if you stir too hard the cookies will just end up chocolate coloured.
- Freezing baked cookies. These cookies freeze well after they’ve been baked. Just store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Baking from frozen: You can freeze the cookie dough. Shape the dough into cookie balls, place on a cookie sheet and put into the freezer overnight. Then transfer the balls to an airtight freezer bag until you’re ready to bake them. When baking these cookies from the freezer, just increase the baking time by about 3-5 minutes.

Hi Jo-Anne,
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe. When freezing the dough do you freeze individual scooped cookie dough or roll into a log and freeze?
Thank you,
Ande
Hi Ande! You can do either or! I prefer to freeze individual scoops, then let them come to almost room temperature before I bake them.
Happy Baking!
