Enjoy the classic combination of chocolate and peppermint all year long in this simple, yet oh-so-good cookie recipe.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add egg; beat just until blended. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
Beat peppermint extract into cookie dough at medium speed. Stir in crushed peppermint candies and chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Definitely easy to make. I used candy canes and just weighed till i got close to 1.5 ounces. I didn't have peppermint extract, but i don't think it was needed.
I used the smaller cookie scooper and was able to get over 16 balls on a sheet and they didn't touch. I was able to make 48 cookies this way!
Definitely a nice holiday cookie option!
