Peppermint Chocolate 🍫
Ingredients:
220 g unsalted browned butter, room temp
200 g light or dark brown sugar
120 g granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temp
6g vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
300g all-purpose flour
30g cocoa powder
2g baking powder
3.5g baking soda
6g sea salt
150g peppermint flavored baking chips
150g milk chocolate chips
150g peppermint bark, chopped
Peppermint crunch for toppings
Directions:
Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).�
Step 2 In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl, then gradually add into the creamed mixture. Add in the peppermint chips, milk chocolate chips, and chopped peppermint bark. Mix until the chocolates are evenly distributed.
Step 3 Weigh out 100gm of the cookie dough, top with crushed peppermint and arrange evenly apart on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Let cookies cool on a cooling rack for 20 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes:
• my cookies are 100gm pre-baked & I bake them at 375F for 15-17 minutes. If you’d like to make smaller cookies, I suggest using a 1tbsp cookie scoop & baking them at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
• these cookies can be baked right away, but if you have extra time and would like to deepen the flavor of your cookies: refrigerate the cookie dough in an airtight container for 3 days before shaping then freezing. Bake straight from the freezer.
