Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, Greek yogurt and sugars until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture, and beat on low speed, until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and candy cane pieces with a rubber spatula.
- Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scooper to scoop cookie dough balls. Place them on the baking sheet about 3" apart from one another so they can spread in the oven.
- Bake for about 12 minutes or until puffed and slightly cracked.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Please note that I used a combination of 1 cup dark chocolate chips and 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips in this recipe. You may use the chocolate chips you like best.
