DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES
Steps:
- Unwrap the chocolate mints, place on a plate and freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cookie mix according to package instructions and chill in the fridge, about 10 minutes. Slightly dampen hands with cool water and wrap each chocolate mint in a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, topping with enough dough to cover completely. Shape into a disc. Place 6 cookies on each baking sheet spaced about 2 1/2 inches apart, and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are crispy and centers look soft, about 20 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving to a plate, then serve immediately.

A variation on the classic chocolate chip recipe, these cookies have bittersweet chocolate chips and pieces of soft-cut peppermint candy added to them, as well as the traditional semi-sweet. They're quite chocolatey and quite decadent. The peppermint adds an interesting touch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C).
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together for about 1-2 minutes. Add egg, peppermint extract and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as you go to ensure even mixing.
- Add flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and powder to a sifter and sift gradually over the wet ingredients mixing as you go. Mix until well combined.
- Add chocolate chips and stir in with a mixing spoon and then chill in the freezer for 10 minutes while the oven finishes heating.
- Form the dough into small balls (heaping 1 Tbsp) and place 1.5 inches apart on an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the tops down and then top with a few more chocolate chips (to indicate what's inside).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes - the edges should start to dry but the tops will still be slightly soft looking. Let set on the cookie sheet for a few minutes more but sprinkle crushed candy cane on immediately.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to rest until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to a few days or freeze for several weeks.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Add crushed peppermint candies to the dough: This will give the cookies a festive holiday flavor.
- Top the cookies with melted chocolate and crushed peppermint candies: This will make them even more delicious and festive.
Conclusion:
These peppermint candy double chocolate cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They're easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a festive and delicious cookie recipe, give these peppermint candy double chocolate cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
