📝 Preparation Steps
1
To a microwave safe bowl add chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate and butter. Heat on HIGH power in ⏱️ 20 second increments, stirring between intervals until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool, about ⏱️ 25 - 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt for ⏱️ 20 seconds, set aside.
3
In large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on medium-high speed, whip together eggs, egg yolk, brown sugar and granulated sugar until pale, fluffy and creamy, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Mix in cooled chocolate mixture.

4
Using a wooden spoon, stir dry mixture into egg/chocolate mixture just until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill until partially set, about ⏱️ 45 minutes (it should be easier to roll and chilling will reduce spread). Preheat oven to 350 degrees during last ⏱️ 10 minutes of chilling.
5
Scoop dough out about 2 - 2 1/2 Tbsp at a time (35g each) and shape into balls. Place dough balls on Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets spacing cookies 2-inches apart. Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 8 - 11 minutes (cookies should look slightly under-baked they'll continue to cook slightly once removed from oven).
6
Cool on baking sheet about ⏱️ 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool frost with Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting then sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
