Ingredients
Loaf
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped Keebler Fudge Mint Delights
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Cookie crumb topping
- 6 Keebler Fudge Mint Delights, roughly crushed
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, vegetable oil, and sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and peppermint extract.
- Add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing just until everything comes together. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped Keebler Fudge Mint Delights and mini chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
- Combine the crushed Fudge Mint Delights with the melted butter and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, starting to check at 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
FAQ
Can I use another mint chocolate cookie?
Yes. A similar crisp chocolate-mint cookie will work, but the flavor and texture may vary slightly depending on the brand.
Can I leave out the peppermint extract?
Yes. The cookies already add mint flavor, so you can skip it if you want the mint to be more subtle.
How do I keep the loaf from drying out?
Be careful not to overmix the batter and start checking it at 40 minutes. Take it out when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs instead of waiting until it is completely dry.
Do I need to add a glaze or frosting?
No. The loaf has plenty of sweetness from the cookies and chocolate chips, and the cookie topping gives it enough texture and flavor on its own.
How should I store Mint Fudge Cookie Loaf?
Store it tightly covered at room temperature for about 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
