How to Make Chocolate Mint Truffle Cookies

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Vigorously whisk in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  8. Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  10. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  11. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  13. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle each cookie with a generous amount of finely chopped candy cane.
  14. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
