Chocolate-Peppermint Crinkle Cookies image

My husband always asks for peppermint crinkle cookies at Christmas, and I always have trouble finding a recipe with the perfect cake-to-fudge balance. After years of hits and misses, my husband insisted I write this recipe down. This is for a smaller batch, but can easily be doubled for larger families.

Time 1h40m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons peppermint extract, or more to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Mix white sugar, cocoa, and vegetable oil together in a bowl. Beat in eggs and peppermint extract. Separately mix together flour, baking powder, and salt; combine with above ingredients. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Cover dough and place in a freezer for 1 hour (or refrigerate for 3 hours or longer.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Take dough out of the freezer and remove by rounded tablespoons. Form into balls with clean hands. Roll each ball in confectioners' sugar and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes.
