Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes

Ingredients
  

Makes about 30 cookies

  • 4 oz (120g) semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) mint extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) cocoa powder , unsweetened
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 6 oz (170g) semisweet chocolate , chips or chunks
  • Crushed candy canes , about 4 or 5

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F (165 C). In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter and 4 oz of semisweet chocolate together over low heat or bain-marie. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Combine the eggs and sugar and beat at medium speed with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Add mint extract.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon portions 2 inches (5cm) apart onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of each.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes — they should be slightly underbaked so the interior stays chewy and soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until the cookies are firm enough to remove, probably another 5-10 minutes. While cookies are still warm add on top of each some extra crushed candy canes to get a beautiful look. Cool completely on a wire rack.

    Hello. These cookies look awesome! I’m so excited to make them. Quick question regarding the 4 oz. of chocolate that gets melted with the butter- the recipe calls for semisweet but the YouTube video calls for bittersweet. Which one is correct? Thanks!!
