Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp whole milk
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

For Decorating:

  • 1 cup white chocolate
  • ¼ cup peppermint candies crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Put the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend together until smooth.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract then blend on HIGH until it turns fluffy.
  • In another bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the wet mix to the dry mix. Use a hand mixer to blend together. As you mix, slowly drizzle in the milk until it all comes together.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to measure out the cookies on the sheet, spreading them out to allow for expansion during baking. Bake for 10–15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. In the meantime, melt the white chocolate. Once the cookies have cooled, decorate with the white chocolate. I alternate between dipping them in the chocolate and drizzling the chocolate over them. Once done, stick the crushed candy into the wet chocolate.
