Peppermint Double Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies Recipe

Author Jennifer

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cups Nestle Tollhouse chocolate and mint chocolate chips 12 oz. pkg.
  • *For Christmastime: substitute one of those ½ cups with Nestle Tollhouse Holiday Chocolate Chips the red and green colors!

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350. In a large bowl; beat together your butter and sugar until it's creamy, light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add in the vanilla and beat for one minute, until completely combined.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and gradually blend into the butter mixture. Beat for about a minute on low speed, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. DO NOT OVERBEAT. Add in chocolate chips and stir - do not beat.
  • Scoop by teaspoonfuls and roll into balls in the palm of your hand. Place about two inches apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, baking for 8 to 9 minutes.
  • When you remove them from the oven, they will not look done, but they will harden up a bit once they cool down.
