Servings: 36
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) , at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar , packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I like to sub 1/4 cup special dark powder)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips , or milk chocolate chips
Optional: White chocolate melting wafers (for dipping), crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugars. Add 2 eggs, 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup cocoa, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix just until combined. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and then refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Scoop the dough onto the pan using a large cookie scoop (or about 2 Tablespoons). Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp, yet soft in the middle. Let cookies cool on pan for a few minutes, then move to cooling rack to cool completely.
- Dip cookies halfway in melted white chocolate and place on wax paper or parchment paper if desired. Then immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint on top of white chocolate.
