  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and half of the crushed peppermint candies.
  7. Step 7: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges appear set and the tops look slightly cracked.
  9. Step 9: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  10. Step 10: Melt the remaining white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with the remaining crushed peppermint candies.
