Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 peppermint candy canes (crushed)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 degrees. | |
| Step 2 | |
| In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside | |
| Step 3 | |
| Using an electric mixer, beat together the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil until it creates a shiny, gritty dough. It won't be smooth, that's ok. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds with each addition to make sure it is well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low speed until combined. Do not beat. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Form into balls and place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Top with crushed peppermint candy canes. Press down slightly so candy is pressed into dough. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool before serving. | |
