Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened, 1 stick
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup crushed peppermint candy about 3 candy canes or 15 peppermints
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat. Set baking sheet aside.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using on medium-high-speed using an electric mixer. Beat for 2 minutes, until light and creamy.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Beat for an additional minute to completely combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion into 3 tablespoon-sized balls.
- Place cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart and bake for 7-9 minutes, until the top of the cookie has a dry appearance.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermints over the cookies. You can also press in additional chocolate chips, if desired.
- Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes
- Peppermint chocolate chip cookies will store well at room temperature in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days.
- If you plan to stack the cookies in your airtight container, be sure to place a small square of parchment paper between each cookie so that they don’t stick together.
- They also freeze great! Just thaw them at room temperature when you are ready to use them. They will stay good in the freezer for up to three months.
