Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Rich, chocolaty cookies infused with peppermint, soft in the middle and crisp at the edges, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for 15-30 minutes if too soft to handle. Press extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a visually appealing cookie.
