Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint Candies (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  8. Using a 1.5-2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Press crushed peppermint candies onto the tops of each dough ball if desired.
  9. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: For soft, chewy cookies, avoid overbaking. Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture, and using quality ingredients will elevate the taste.
