Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1¾ cups flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white baking chocolate
- 1 cup semisweet baking chocolate
- ¼ cup candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and peppermint extract and mix until incorporated.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Slowly add to the butter mixture.
- Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Slightly flatten the tops of the balls into 2-inch rounds with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Do not overbake! Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the pans before transferring to a wire rack.
- Add the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Drizzle over the cookies. Repeat for the semisweet chocolate and drizzle. Top with crushed candy canes and let set.
