- add the flour mixture, mixing just until the flour is incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- leaving a 3" border on all sides, use a thin metal spatula to spread half of the dough on one baking sheet into a rough rectangle that measures about 11 x8" and is about 1/4" thick.
- use the palms of your hands to help pat it into an even layer.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie dough on the second baking sheet.
- Bake one baking sheet at a time until the top looks dull -- not shiny -- and feels firm at the edges and center -- about 14 minutes.
- as soon as each baking sheet comes out of the oven, sprinkle 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips over the cookie slab. Let the chocolate chips over the cookie slab.
- let the chocolate chips sit for 5 minutes to soften and melt, then use a small metal spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the cookie.covering most of the cookie.
- while the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle half the peppermint candy evenly over the slab.

- Break each cookie slab into about 12 5-6" long irregular pieces.
