Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 18 peppermint patties
- 4 candy canes, crushed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1-2 tablespoons of milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray two baking sheets with pam. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a mixer until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to combine. Add the cocoa powder and beat until blended. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, 1/4 at a time. Fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the dough to the fridge and chill, 30 minutes. Scoop heaping tablespoon of dough and shape around the peppermint patties (should make about 18 cookies). Flatten each a bit so the dough resembles a disk more than a ball, and space out a few inches apart on the baking sheets. Place the candy canes in a ziplock bag and using the end of a cup, pound to break apart. Sprinkle each cookie a bit of crushed candy cane and bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the baking sheets, 30 minutes. When the cookies are cooling, in a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, peppermint extract and milk. If icing is too thick, add more milk, and if too thin, add more powdered sugar. Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the icing on using a fork.
