Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons pure peppermint extract
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups crushed peppermint candies or candy canes (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and pure peppermint extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough balls with crushed peppermint candies or candy canes for an extra festive touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crispy, minty chocolate cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of hot cocoa!
