You can’t have Christmas come around and not make a least one batch of Christmas cookies.

This year we are making Peppermint Brownies cookies. Fudgy brownie cookies with a hint of peppermint and topped with candy cane pieces.

These cookies are like Christmas in your mouth. Because who doesn’t like chocolate and peppermint?

These cookies are simple to make and it makes a small batch.

Ingredients in a row: vanilla extract, candy cane, chocolate in a bowl, an egg and flour.

Ingredients you will need:

  • 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with mint. We used the Endangered Species Forest Mint & Dark Chocolate Bar.
  • We like to use salted butter in all our baking. Unsalted butter will work too.
  • We use white granulated sugar.
  • Brown Sugar. We used light brown sugar. We recommend not using dark because it will give these cookies more of a molasses taste.
  • An Egg.
  • Vanilla Extract. We highly recommend Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, but any vanilla will work.
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Candy Canes

Brownie Cookie Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° (F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl add the chopped chocolate. Set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan melt the butter until it begins to bubble.
  5. Remove from the heat and pour into on to the chocolate.
  6. Whisk the chocolate until all the chocolate begins to melt. Set aside.
  7. In a standing mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together the egg, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  8. After 5 minutes add the melted chocolate and mix on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes.

Tip: Make sure the chocolate is slightly cooled.

Tip: Do not over mix the dough as it can change the texture of the cookie, For, these cookies we want that nice fudgy and crackly texture.

  1. Using a rubber spatula fold in the dry ingredients until combined.
  2. Using an ice cream scooper scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of cooking dough onto the cookie sheet.
  3. Bake for 12-14 minutes until cooked.
  4. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top after taking them out of the oven.
  5. Allow them to cool for 20–30 minutes.

Resist the temptation to eat them! They need to flatten a little and bake a little on the tray.

Now just pour yourself a glass of milk or your favorite holiday drink, grab a cookie (or two, not judging), and enjoy.
