Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies
Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies are dark chocolate cookies with chocolate, white chocolate, and peppermint chips mixed in throughout.
Ingredients
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 8-ounce bag Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Mix-Ins (or a combination of dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed candy canes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add butter and bittersweet chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring the chocolate and butter after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg is added.
- Add baking soda and salt. Mix again.
- Add flour then mix well to combine.
- Pour in the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Mix-Ins and stir until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. (Note that we set some of the mix-ins aside so we could put them on top of the cookies before baking. This is optional.)
- Use a 4-teaspoon cookie scoop and portion out the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. These cookies do spread a bit as they bake so leave about 2-inches between the dough scoops.
- Optional step: Place the chocolate, white chocolate, and peppermint chip pieces that you set aside from step eight and place on top of each cookie before you bake them. This will ensure that the tops of your cookies will show all three mix-ins once they are baked.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be slightly firm, and the centers will still be slightly soft.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remainder of the cookie dough.
