Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Powdered (confectioners’) sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and softened unsalted butter. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and butter mixture. Beat well after each addition. Mix in the peppermint extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will make the dough easier to handle.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until completely coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the centers.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! These cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a treat any time of the year.
