Ingredients

Cookies
  • 1 tick butter room temperature
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract
Topping
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup crushed peppermint pieces

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and allow the butter and eggs to come to room temperature.
  2. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until creamy.
  3. Next, add in the eggs, vanilla, and peppermint extract.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the batter before mixing again. The batter is going to be THICK and also slightly sticky.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, use a small cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough onto the pan. TIP: Spray the cookie scoop with cooking spray. It will stop the cookie dough from sticking to the scooper.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The middle of each cookie might still be fluffy when done. That’s OK! Then, remove the cookies from the pan so they don't continue to bake.
  7. After the cookies are completely cooled, melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
  8. Then, dip each cookie into the white chocolate and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle peppermint pieces and let the white chocolate harden. This will take a few minutes (chill the cookies to expedite the process).
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A little bit of peppermint extract goes A LONG way. DO NOT add more than called for in this recipe. 
  • The batter will be sticky before baking. Spray the cookie scooper with cooking spray in between scoops - it will make it much easier. 
  • If your white chocolate is stiff after melting, it’s likely your chocolate has burned or “seized." This is why you need to stir it constantly between microwave intervals.
