Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  2. Microwave the chocolate and butter in 20-second increments in a large bowl. Stir the mixture after every round until they have melted together. Let cool.
  3. In another glass bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, peppermint extract and salt with a hand mixer together until well combined.
  4. Pour in the melted chocolate, and whisk gently by hand.
  5. Add the flour, stirring until just combined.
  6. Using a 1" cookie scoop, dollop the brownie cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet. (Leave 1" between each cookie, as they will spread just slightly.)
  7. Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, or until they are slightly crisp on the outside (but soft on the inside!)
  8. Let the cookies cool.
  9. In a glass bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, peppermint extract and water until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies, then sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
  11. Enjoy immediately!
