Instructions

1 Heat the oven to 375F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy and
pale. Add in the eggs one at a time, fully mixing after each. Add the peppermint
oil and mix to combine.
3 Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to
partially combine.
4 Add the chopped chocolate and candy cane. Stir to fully combine everything. I
use my hands to complete the mixing process to make sure I get all the flour.
5 Scoop the dough in very heaped Tbsps, and roll them into balls. Place on the
baking sheet and flatten slightly.
6 Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate and bake for another 6 minutes. You want to
slightly under bake these cookies, so that they maintain their soft centers.
Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with more candy cane immediately when they come
out of the oven.
7 Allow to cool on their trays slightly, then transfer to a wire rack and cool
fully before storing. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
