Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso optional
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 mini candy canes or three regular sized candy canes, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, espresso and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl with a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), combine the butter and sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and peppermint extract. Beat until combined, 1 minute. Scraping down the side of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball. Slightly flatten the ball and press the top of the dough into crushed candy cane bits. Repeat with remaining dough and place on prepared cookie sheet 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are firm and the center is still soft. Let cool on the cookie sheets 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
