Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180˚C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips, butter, and peppermint extract to a medium heatproof bowl and place over the simmering water. Melt, stirring often until smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and black cocoa powder. Whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer and whip on high speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Continue mixing while slowly adding the granulated and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and falls into ribbons, about 9 minutes.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the whipped eggs and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix again until smooth.
- Using an ice cream scoop, immediately scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets and smooth the tops with your finger.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle the tops with crushed candy canes. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 4 minutes, until the tops are cracked and shiny. Remove from the oven and immediately smack the baking sheets against the countertop, then let the cookies cool completely on the pans.
- Note: If black cocoa powder is not available in your grocery store, cookies can be made using 3 tablespoons of Dutch-process cocoa powder; simply swapping the black cocoa for the Dutch-process.
- Enjoy!

PEPPERMINT BROWNIE COOKIES
Brownies can be contentious. You may be an edge person or someone who loves middle pieces, a fudgy fanatic or a cakey purist. These cookies will please all brownie lovers, with chewy edges, tender centers and crunch from crushed peppermint candies. While any unsweetened cocoa powder will work in this recipe, Dutch-processed cocoa will make the cookies taste more chocolaty and round out their peppermint flavor. Whisking the eggs and sugars for a long time may seem fussy, but this process gives the cookie body, makes the batter easier to scoop and ensures a shiny top, the hallmark of any good brownie.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Put chocolate and ¼ cup/21 grams cocoa powder in a small heatproof bowl or glass measuring cup. Melt butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbly but not browned, and pour over the chocolate. Without stirring, let the mixture sit so the residual heat can melt the chocolate thoroughly while you whip the eggs and sugar.
- Put the eggs, both sugars and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed until the mixture is pillowy and the sugars have begun to dissolve, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir the chocolate mixture until glossy and smooth. If any solid pieces remain, you can microwave the mixture in 10-second bursts until everything is melted.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the peppermint extract and then the chocolate mixture. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula, then add the flour and remaining ¼ cup/21 grams cocoa, and mix on low until a few streaks of flour and cocoa remain. Use the spatula to finish folding in the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing. The dough will be looser than traditional cookie dough but not as thin as brownie batter.
- Use a ¼-cup cookie scoop or measuring cup to scoop 12 (2-ounce) balls of batter onto the prepared sheets and bake. After 10 minutes, take the sheets out of the oven and bang them once on the counter to create a craggy surface and dense texture. Sprinkle a bit of crushed peppermint candy in the center of each cookie and return to the oven for another 2 minutes.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheets. The cookies will keep for 4 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
