Have you ever noticed there are not many cookie recipes on Call Me PMc?

I’m super picky about cookies and I have only been completely over-the-moon with one cookie recipe. It’s my super secret Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. It’s my fallback, get rich cookie recipe, so I haven’t been compelled to share it yet.

I’m saving it for a ‘rainy day’ or when we need to make the mortgage payment or pay for college. (Of course, I’m being sarcastic, but it is good great!)

But, guess what?!

I love this Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe just as much.

And, I’m not keeping it a secret.

Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookies

Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe

What makes a good cookie?

  1. I like oversized cookies because then you can say, “I just had one cookie”. Really, you don’t have to reveal it was the size of a plate!
  2. They have to be soft in the center.
  3. And crispy on the edges.
  4. And preferably warm.

So without further adieu I give to you my Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 17 minutes
Total Time: 37 minutes
Servings: 48 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cup Andes peppermint crunch chips

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then beat again to combine.
  • In another bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually incorporate this to the butter mixture.
  • Use a wooden spoon or mixing spatula to stir in peppermint chips. The mixture will be THICK.
  • Place the bowl in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set oven to 350°F to let it preheat while the cookie dough chills.
  • Using a medium sized cookie scoop or regular sized ice cream scoop, drop dough onto a cold greased cookie sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between the scoops. I used a regular sized ice cream scoop for extra large cookies.
  • Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 17 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the centers are still a little bit gooey.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Then, use a thin spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely..

Notes

  • Using a large scoop, I had 26 cookies. If you make them small (regular size), you’ll have about 4 dozen. Use 2 cookie sheets. Allow the cookie sheet to cool off before placing second batch of dough on them. Never place cookie dough on a hot sheet.

    Paula I made these just yesterday and although they taste delicious they did not turn our soft at all? Any suggestions? I am located in Nevada so not sure if altitude had anything to do with my problem?

    Peppermint cookies are some of my favorite but adding chocolate alongside makes this just about perfect!

    I don’t know of a better combination out there than chocolate and peppermint. They were made for each other, I’m sure!

    These cookies look incredible and so indulgent! I’m with you and think oversized warm and soft cookies are the best, and chocolate and peppermint are incredible together. I can see why these are one of your favorite cookies, I wish I had a few of these for breakfast now 🙂 Pinning and thanks so much for sharing this great recipe :)Hope you have a great week!

      Thanks Cindy, It’s colder than I prefer, but I’ll make it. It was 33 this morning when I ran.

      Thanks for sharing, I’m addicted to these cookies, making another batch today with the boys.

      I apologize about my site yesterday. It didn’t even occur to me to not ‘work’ on it when MM had just started! #duh
