In my opinion peppermint and chocolate go together like peanut butter and jelly. It's a flavor combo that I associate with all things holiday related, and I have to consume it in as many ways possible before Christmas is over.
This means I'm stopping by the coffee shops to get as many peppermint mochas, making my own peppermint mochas at home, and adding peppermint and chocolate to everything, dessert related.
I have made this version of these cookies for years. It's a classic chocolate chip cookie that has been given a little Christmas flare with Rodelle Peppermint Extract, a good dip in white chocolate, and then sprinkled with crushed peppermint puffs.
It's always a winner for cookie exchanges, parties, and my mouth! Ha! But seriously. If someone asks me to bake a cookie for myself, it's gonna be these.
One taste of these soft and chewy Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies, and you'll understand my addiction.
How do I make Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Start by combining your flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugars. (brown and white.) Add the water and peppermint extract.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, fold in chocolate chips.
No chilling this dough - form dough into balls, bake, and allow to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, crush up those peppermint puffs, and melt the white chocolate.
Dip one half of each cookie into the white chocolate, and sprinkle with the crushed peppermint puffs. Allow to firm up, and devour!
