Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Crushed candy canes, for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well.
-
Add the peppermint extract and egg to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
-
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
-
Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top of each cookie.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
