Step 1: Use the Best Roll Out Sugar Cookie Recipe

Peppermint Mocha Cookie Recipe

You can use any roll out cookie recipe for these coal cookies, but my go-to choice would be Semi Sweet Mike's delicious Peppermint Mocha Cookie recipe. It combines decadent chocolatey flavors, an energizing espresso kick and a cool peppermint finish—tastes just like those yummy Girl Scout Thin Mints but redesigned for the holidays! You can use the creamy Andes peppermint crunch baking chips or leave them out for a consistent shade of dark chocolate goodness.

Step 2: Cut your dough with a lump of coal cookie cutter from Semi Sweet Designs

Now that you have your favorite cookie dough recipe, it’s time to create the perfect coal-shape cookie with our lump of coal cookie cutter. We designed this cookie cutter to have the fun design and to cut out your sugar cookie dough with ease. Get yours and other Christmas cookie cutter designs in our shop.

Step 3: Use the crumbled parchment cookie decorating tutorial

OK, now it's time to get creative with royal icing! The struggle of getting the perfect coal texture can be frustrating but with Mike's coal decorating tutorial, you'll be able to master the crumble parchment paper technique for beautiful coal babies each time. This technique gives your royal icing a beautiful coal-like texture – perfect for a sharp aesthetic. All you need is royal icing and some parchment paper - you’ll be making something special in very little time!
