What You Need for Peppermint Crunch Cookies

How To Make Peppermint Crunch Cookies

In a double boiler, add the 2 cups chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.

Place ⅔ cup of the melted chocolate into a small metal bowl.

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until creamy.

Add sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.

Add eggs; beat until well incorporated.

Add dry ingredients and mix until well blended.

Stir in remaining ½ cup chocolate chips and the Andes chocolate.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Scoop out tablespoons full of dough and form a round ball.

Place onto the cookie sheet that was lined with parchment paper or reusable baking mats. (This is the brand I use.)

Bake cookies for 8 to 9 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

Transfer the peppermint crunch cookies to racks to cool completely.

    These look delicious! I just love peppermint. It's my favorite fall flavor. These would be perfect with a cup of hot cocoa.
