Recipe Source: I found this recipe on Pinterest, which
led me to this blog: number-2-pencil
Ingredients:
14
tablespoons of melted and cooled butter
3/4 cup of
granulated sugar
3/4 cup of
firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 a cup of
Hershey's unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon of
kosher salt
1 teaspoon of
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of
peppermint extract
1 large egg
1 large egg
yolk
1 3/4 cup of
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
of baking soda
1 bag of White Chocolate Peppermint
M&M's
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine
butter, sugars, cocoa, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Stir on
low just until combined. Continue stirring and add eggs one at a time. Then add
flour and baking soda to bowl and stir just until dough forms.
3. Form two tablespoons of dough into
balls and place on cookie sheet. Place ten White Chocolate Peppermint M&M's
on top of each cookie dough ball and bake for about ten minutes.
4. Remove from oven and let cool.
Thoughts: This cookie had very good mint flavor,
however, they needed some modifying.
The cookie did not have enough flour.
Verdict: Make again? Yes! These are
definitely a holiday cookie. If
you want these through out the year, you will have to buy a years supply of
peppermint M&Ms because they are only available during the holidays.
NOTE: I re-made these following the basic tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. I didn't add the chocolate chips and I added a tsp of peppermint extract. Turned out much better!
