Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1 tsp peppermint extract
10 drops green food coloring
3 1/4 c flour, leveled
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
12 oz dark chocolate chips, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one or more baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
  • 2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then beat on medium for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Add the eggs and yolk, peppermint extract, and food coloring.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and combine until the flour is not quite incorporated.
  • 5. Divide chocolate chips in 2 piles. From 1 pile, reserve 1/3 cup. Add the rest of the pile to the dough.
  • 6. Chop the other half coarsely, with a knife or in a food processor.
  • 7. Add the chopped chocolate to the dough, and mix until just combined.
  • 8. Cover the dough and refrigerate for about an hour, if desired.
  • 9. Use a 2-inch cookie scoop to form balls of dough and drop them on the cookie sheet. These are very large cookies, I only did 6-8 cookies per pan.
  • 10. Bake at 350 for about 8-10 minutes, or until BARELY starting to brown on the edges. The centers should mostly be not-shiny when you take them out, but a little shine is okay.
  • 11. With the 1/3 cup whole chips that you reserved, push them into the baked cookies immediately after taking them out of the oven. This will melt them slightly and make them ooey gooey.
  • 12. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to a cooling rack.
