📝 Preparation Steps
1
Note: this dough requires chilling!
2
Stir melted butter with granulated and brown sugar, then stir in cocoa powder. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer.
3
Stir in egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Carefully stir in flour.
large egg1(170g) chocolate chips1 cupvanilla1 teaspoon
4
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of dough and place on baking sheet - spacing doesn't matter because you're going to chill them. Chill dough at least ⏱️ 30 minutes.
5
Preheat oven to 350°F. Once oven is preheated, spread cookies out to 2-inches apart and bake ⏱️ 8-12 minutes, or until no longer glossy on top and dried looking around the edges. They should flatten. If they've been chilled longer than ⏱️ 2 hours (or if you're baking from frozen) you might want to lightly press them with your palm to get them started spreading before going into the oven.
6
Immediately after they come out of the oven, press a peppermint patty on top. The patty will melt and then re-harden. Wait for that before you make the ganache.
7
Heat cream in the microwave or in a small saucepan until just before it boils. Pour over chocolate chips in a medium heat proof bowl. Let sit about ⏱️ 30 seconds, then whisk until the chocolate is all melted and smooth. Spoon a bit of ganache over the top of each cookie, spreading to cover the peppermint patty.
8
Let sit for a few hours at room temperature to set. Once ganache is set, store in an airtight container. Wait until it's fully set before stacking. You can also freeze these cookies.
