Steps:
- Add the butter and powdered sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until the mixture is nice and smooth. Mix in the vanilla and egg. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix just until the dough comes together. Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate it for a couple of hours.
- While the dough is chilling away, unwrap the candies and place them in two plastic bags, separated by color. Crush the candies to pieces with a rolling pin. Throw the crushed mints into separate bowls and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll the dough into balls. Place the balls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or baking mats. Flatten them slightly with the bottom of a coffee mug or glass. Bake until just set, 7 to 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely.
- Meanwhile, melt the almond bark in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl and stir until smooth. One at a time, dip the cooled cookies halfway into the melted almond bark. Sprinkle the top sides generously with crushed mints, holding the cookies over the bowls to catch the excess. You can mix red and green on the same cookie, or do some with just red and some with just green.
- Lay the cookies, sprinkled-side up, on parchment paper or a baking mat and allow them to set completely. Serve with a few whole mints on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl and place over a pot of simmering water and melt, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, or into a small bowl, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until lightly and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 1 minute. On low speed beat in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the pecans and chips. The batter will be loose. Cover and refrigerate until just firm, about 30 minutes.
- Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 tablespoon size), scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, putting 8 cookies on each sheet. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. The surface will be dry and shiny but the tops and insides will still be soft. It will take no longer than 10 to 11 minutes so set the time. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter. These cookies are best eaten the day they are made. Wrap leftovers well in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium sized bowl cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat eggs in one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and peppermint extract.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
- Stir into creamed mixture until all moisture is absorbed.
- Mix in the chocolate and the candy canes.
- Form spoonfuls of dough into balls and place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Get creative with your decorations. You can use sprinkles, candy canes, or even edible glitter to decorate your cookies.
Conclusion:
