📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. Set aside to cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

4
In another heat-proof bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Microwave for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes, just long enough to melt the butter. Once melted, combine fully with a whisk.
5
Whisk in the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and peppermint extract.

6
Whisk in the melted chocolate. Then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
7
Using a large (3 tbsp) cookie scoop, place 6-7 cookies spaced 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Generously sprinkle with the crushed candy canes, moving any pieces near the edges towards the top to keep them from melting onto the pan.
8
Then bake one tray at a time, leaving the other on the counter, for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes. Let the tray cool on a rack while the other bakes.
