Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar 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.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake the Cookies
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Topping
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Once the cookies are cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint over the melted chocolate before it sets.
Let Set
- Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and allow the white chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
- Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container.

Notes
For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate-dipped cookies before adding the crushed peppermint.
