Categories     Chocolate Cookies

Time 1h30m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10 ounce) package creme de menthe baking chips (such as Andes®)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dark chocolate
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and peppermint extract and blend for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in flour and baking soda. Add creme de menthe chips and pecans and mix thoroughly by hand.
  • Chill dough for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies just start to brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, place chocolate for drizzle in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Add peppermint extract and stir to combine thoroughly.
  • Cut a small portion of a corner of a zip-top bag off with scissors; transfer in dark chocolate mixture. Drizzle over cooled cookies and allow chocolate to harden.
