Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup salted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1½ cup all-purpose flour (192 grams)
  • ½ cup dark Dutch-process cocoa powder (50 grams)
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (140 grams)
  • ⅓ cup peppermint candies (crushed, 15-18 candies)

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
  • Add in the flour, dark cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir until combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
  • Cover and chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour.
  • Crush the candies in a zip bag on a cutting board using a mallet or a rolling pin.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • While the oven is preheating, roll a generous tablespoon of dough into a ball and dip the top of the ball into the crushed candies, pressing to adhere.
  • Space the cookies apart by 2 inches on the pan.
  • Bake the cookies for about 9-11 minutes, until the center starts to look matte and the edges are firm. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies rest on the pan for 2 additional minutes.
  • Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Seal in an airtight container.
