Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer (or large mixing bowl) add granulated sugar and butter.
  • If using an electric mixer, add the paddle attachment, and cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape down the bowl a few times while mixing to make sure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • With the mixer on low, add the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Mix until just combined and scrape down the bowl.
  • Turn off the mixer.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet dough and slowly combine until well mixed and no large clumps of ingredients remain.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks and peppermint white chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the cookies onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  • You should have about 6 cookies per baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are set in the center.

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

If you cannot find white chocolate peppermint chips you can use 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies.
