How to Make Chocolate Peppermint Bar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out easily.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the crushed peppermint candies.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with melted chocolate and chopped peppermint candies.
- Once the chocolate has set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
