Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 15 mini peppermint patties (such as York Peppermint Patties)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla:
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

  1. Form the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake:
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.
  3. Add Peppermint Patties:
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a mini peppermint patty gently into the center of each cookie. The heat from the cookies will slightly melt the patties.
  4. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flair, drizzle the cookies with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies after adding the patties.
  • The cookie dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
