- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp pure peppermint extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes on medium speed). Beat in eggs and peppermint extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to mixer bowl and beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake cookies 6 minutes, then remove them from the oven, bang the pan firmly on the counter and press a few more chocolate chips or chunks into the centers. Continue baking until edges begin to firm but center still appears soft, about 3 more minutes. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes then transfer cookies to cooling rack.
-
- When you take the cookies out of the oven to add extra chocolate on top, first bang the pan on the counter to deflate them.
-
- Press in chocolate chunks or chips and return the cookies to the oven.
-
- You'll know they are done when the edges are dry and crackly.
-
- As soon as they come out of the oven, use an overturned glass to re-shape the cookies into perfect circles (see video).
-
- Feel free to substitute the chocolate chips for chocolate chunks or better yet, chopped-up mint chocolate bars (dark chocolate only, milk chocolate will scorch).
