Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer. Add peppermint extract for a chocolate peppermint flavor. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and add as much as 1 teaspoon, depending on taste preference. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Stir in unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. I suggest using semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Roll into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. If you desire a flatter cookie, gently press down on the cookie dough ball with the palm of your hand. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until cookies begin to puff up and the sides begin to indent. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until cookies begin to puff up and the sides begin to indent. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
- Once the cookies have cooled, melt the white chocolate wafers, bars, or chips until melted. I suggest cooking in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second increments to ensure the white chocolate doesn't burn. Stir after each cooking time.
- Dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes before the white chocolate hardens so the peppermint candies stick to the chocolate.
- Set on a cooling rack to set up. To expedite it, you can place in the freezer.
Notes
- What type of white chocolate should I use?
- I suggest using high-quality white chocolate. For the easiest melting, I suggest using Ghirardelli Melting Wafers.
