How to Make Double Chocolate Cookies With A Peppermint Patty Surprise

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for egg-free option: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  8. Unwrap the chilled dough. Roll into 1-inch balls.
  9. Place a peppermint patty in the center of each dough ball.
  10. Gently roll the dough ball around the patty to fully enclose it.
  11. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set. Rotate baking sheets halfway through.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Meanwhile, melt ½ cup of white chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies.
  15. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
  16. Let the chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
