Prep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time1 hr

Ingredients

 ½ cup butter, softened
 ½ cup brown sugar
 ½ cup granulated sugar
 1 large egg
 2 tsp vanilla extract
 1 cup flour
 ½ cup cocoa powder
 ½ tsp baking soda
 ¼ tsp salt
 ½ cup chocolate chips (to melt)
 ½ cup chocolate chips
 1 cup white chocolate chips
 about 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies

Directions

1

Cream butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar util light and fluffy.

2

Add eggs and vanilla and mix in.

3

Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add into wet mixture and stir until just combined.

5

Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

6

Chill dough for at least 10 minutes (up to 36 hours).

7

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll into balls, about one inch in diameter. Using a medium sized melon baller works great for scooping the dough, especially since it is pretty stiff once it has been chilled.

8

Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1.5 inches between balls.

9

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until set.

10

Let cool on the pan for at least two minutes. Then, use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11

Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave. Use 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then microwave in 15 second increments until fully melted and smooth.

12

Dip cookies in white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Tip: place dipped cookies on baking pan lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking when they harden.

13

Chill to let chocolate harden and enjoy! Store cookies in an airtight container.
