Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 11 ounces milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup finely crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy. Beat in the egg and peppermint extract.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to the mixture and mix well.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to drop rounds of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Add the marshmallow fluff to a plastic bag and squeeze into one corner. Snip off the tip of the corner and squeeze the marshmallow fluff onto the center of each cookie, about 1 teaspoon per cookie.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
- Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Immediately sprinkle with the peppermint candies.
- Let set until the chocolate has hardened before storing in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

Notes
- Cookies will keep for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Store separately from other baked goodies to avoid the peppermint flavor from getting into the other treats.
