Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter , room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tbl instant coffee
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chip morsels
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
  • Add the sugar and brown sugar and mix until fluffy and light and then mix in the egg, instant coffee and peppermint until it is all incorporated
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, baking soda and salt
  • Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in small batches until it has all been mixed in.
  • Once this is done, add in the dark chocolate morsels and using your mixer, mix them in too
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and move to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350° degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a separate bowl add the powdered sugar for rolling
  • Using a spoon (or just your hands) grab off a piece of the dough and using your hands roll dough into 1 inch balls
  • Roll the balls through the powdered sugar and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container
  • *Once completely cool, I often re-coat the tops of the cookies in powdered sugar again.. it makes them pretty :)
