Today I’d love to present my new mint chocolate chip cookies, stuffed with chocolate covered Ritz crackers.
I just giggled typing that out.
I saw these babies in the store and I knew, just knew, what I had to do with them – besides eat a handful, of course. I had to bake them into a cookie. I had to take the sweet, the salty,oh the crispy crunch of these goodies and put them inside a mint chocolate chip cookie.
If you are a regular reader you will know that I make mint chocolate covered Ritz crackers every Christmas, so the idea of a chocolate covered Ritz is not a new one to me. This is basically taking my beloved traditional Christmas recipe and making it into a cookie.
I may have snacked on a couple of these while making the cookies. I’m not admitting anything.
When I was making these I wondered if I could just eat it raw and stopped myself. Really, if there ever was a time to eat raw cookie dough folks, this would be it!

- Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees.
- Cream together your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
- Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt.
- When that is done, fold in the two cups of chocolate chips by hand, and prepare to put them on some parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
- Making sure there is the same amount of dough on either side of the Ritz cracker, pinch the top and bottom dough together like a dumpling, then smooth and mould into a pretty dome-shaped cookie.
- Place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes, depending on how thick your cookies are. They will be golden brown on the bottom and top when done.

Oh yes indeed! There’s nothing I love better than sweet and salty together, then with crunch? Major yum!
Perfection!
Oh my word – what a fun idea! The salt and crunch in the cracker must make these fantastic. 🙂
@Rambling Tart They are pretty darn good!
