Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks, (12 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled)
  • 1 cup loosely brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ganache
  • 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, (chopped)
  • 2.5 tablespoons heavy cream

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, mix the cooled butter and sugars until they are combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until mixed. Gradually add in dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms – it will look crumbly at first, but it will come together. I even used my hands to help at one point. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  • Roll dough into 1-1 1/2-inch balls and place on a nonstick baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the middles are just set. Don’t over bake! Let cool completely.
