Gluten Free Peppermint Brownie Cookies Recipe (V, GF): a one bowl recipe for soft, decadent and fudgy brownie cookies (aka brookies) bursting with cool peppermint flavor and melted chocolate chips. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.

What are your favorite things to do during the holidays? At home with Erik, we love to bake all the cookies, start up our annual candy workshop, and watch our favorite Christmas movies.

There just something about that line in Christmas Vacation when Chevy Chase mentions the jolliest bunch of… that always cracks us up like no other.

I mean, who cannot relate to trying to make the best Christmas ever for your family and then, end up failing miserably? It’s so #truestory when Chevy Chase’s character spends like 500 hours climbing all over that dangerously slippery rooftop and hanging like 5 million Christmas lights… only to find that they won’t light up.

Like, oh, COME ON!!

Every year, Erik and I have THE longest list of holiday treats to make, and it’s like the most insane Ford assembly line of whisking, dipping, drizzling and cooling that you’ve ever seen. Every single surface of the kitchen, the bed, the sofa, the TV stand, the coat rack and let’s face it, the floor covered festively (!) in giftwrap as a makeshift drop cloth are covered in cookies, chocolate and quick breads.

One year, I may or may not have slipped on an unseen, minuscule-ish pile of melted chocolate on the floor, slid right onto that giftwrap drop cloth, nearly dropped the four, yes four, plates of cookies in my hands.

But saving those cookies came at a sacrifice. Meaning, I had to do some mid-air acrobatics to balance those piled-up high cookie plates, maneuver my left foot like so, and ended up landing.

Right on top of two cookie sheets, covered in 6 batches of homemade candy.

!!!

Let’s just say I may have some artful language not dissimilar to Chevy Chase’s in Christmas Vacation.

And let’s just say that I went ahead and double-crossed out any future ideas for a makeshift drop cloth candy cooling station for the holidays.

Ah… the pressure and the hilarity of the holidays!

This year, we’re going to try and limit the amount of treats we make. We’re thinking about doing 2-4 candy recipes and 2-5 baked goods. Yeeeeees, I have to admit, it was really hard not writing 6-8 candy recipes. I’m just too much. Even I can admit it!

Here’s the list of homemade treats we’ve narrowed it down to (we sooo need to eliminate some of these! Help!!):

Brownies

Candy + Bars

Paleo Almond Joy
OR Coconut Chocolate Bars
OR Almond Joy Truffles (or maybe two batches of these, since my mom LOVES chocolate, coconut and almonds)
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars or Paleo Chocolate Almond Butter Bars

Cookies

Quick Breads/Baked Treats

Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread
Vegan Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes (which Erik already requested, mostly because he really wants to be the one to frost this time… we’ll see.) 😉
Or Maple Pecan Pumpkin Muffins
Or Chocolate Pumpkin Bread (Jenny’s fave, so I’m leaning towards this one)
Or Paleo Apple Pecan Coconut Crisp (Jenny ate half of one batch in like 10 minutes… so this is a high contender)

And then, the little treats we make for ourselves for Holiday Bakeathon Fuel:

So what do you think I should cut?? I’m still not sure and the days are ticking off! I might just send this list to my fam and see what their votes are for. (But honestly, they might read this post and text me about it without needing any kind of notice haha).
