Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Cookies:
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1214 small peppermint patties (like York Peppermint Patties)
For the Topping (Optional):

 

  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips, melted
  • Crushed peppermint candies (for garnish)

Instructions

Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

2. Assemble the Cookies

  1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly in your hand.
  2. Place a peppermint patty in the center, then wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
  3. Roll into a smooth ball and place on the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

3. Bake & Cool

  1. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  2. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

4. Add the Toppings (Optional)

 

  1. Drizzle melted chocolate over cookies and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
  2. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • No peppermint patties? Use Andes mints or a spoonful of mint chocolate spread instead.

 

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
