Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract optional
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups white chocolate peppermint chunks divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add in the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Beat until eggs are incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat just until the flour is incorporated.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the white chocolate peppermint chips.
- Scoop the cookie dough with a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cut the remaining peppermint chunks in half and place 2 to 4 pieces into the tops of the cookie dough.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the center looks set and the edges are firm. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or a paper towel to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
