These Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are packed full of chocolate flavor with a hint of peppermint and topped with chunks of white chocolate peppermint chips.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add in the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Beat until eggs are incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat just until the flour is incorporated.
Stir in 1 ½ cups of the white chocolate peppermint chips.
Scoop the cookie dough with a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Cut the remaining peppermint chunks in half and place 2 to 4 pieces into the tops of the cookie dough.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the center looks set and the edges are firm. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or a paper towel to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
