Ingredients
- 136 g all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 132 g brown sugar
- 60 g granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 40 g cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract if you don't like it too minty, reduce to ¼ tsp
- 100 g salted butter slightly melted
- 1 large egg
- 8 pcs Ghirardelli chocolate peppermint bark broken into pieces
Instructions
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, sea salt, cocoa, and peppermint extract.
- Add in the slightly melted butter to the sugar mixture and whisk until combined.
- Next, add in the egg to the sugar-butter mixture and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Add the flour to the wet mixture in two parts, and fold with a spatula until a dough forms.
- Note: the cookie dough will appear dry at first, but will become the right consistency.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to portion cookie dough and place mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, with 3" of space in between.
- At this point, you can freeze the portioned cookie dough for baking at a later time.
- Press chunks of chocolate peppermint bark into the cookie dough.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F/177°C for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden.
- Note: For chewier cookies, leave the cookies slightly under baked.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
