Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg, large
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Peppermint candies or candy canes, crushed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
